Other Installation Considerations:
To minimize the risk of fire causing injury, loss of life or property,
detectors
should be located on every level of the home from the
basement to the
attic, (furnished or unfurnished), and in every
sleeping
area. More specifically, detectors should be located:
. Between sleeping areas and potential sources of fire such as
the kitchen, garage, basement or utility room. In homes
with only one sleeping area on one floor, a detector should
be put in the hallway outside the bedrooms.
In single floor
homes with two separate sleeping areas, two detectors are
required, one outside each bedroom area.
In multilevel homes, detectors should be located in
bedroom areas and at every finished level of the home.
Basement level detectors should be located in the bottom of
the basement stairwells. Second floor detectors should be
located at the top of the first-to-second floor stairwell so
long as no door obstruction blocks the path of the smoke.
.
inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps or an
electrical appliance is operated. This detector shouid be in
addition to the hallway detector described above.
.
Inside all bedrooms where people sleep with the door
closed. Smoke and poisonous gases are significantly
blocked by a closed door. This detector should be in
addition to the hallway detector described above.
.
At each end of a long hallway
serving
the bedrooms.
