RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE HEAT ALARM
According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) the major
threat from re in a dwelling unit occurs at night when everyone is
asleep. The principal threat to persons in sleeping areas comes from
res in the remainder of the unit; therefore, a smoke detector(s) is best
located between the bedroom areas and the rest of the unit. In units
with only one bedroom area on one oor, the smoke detector(s) should
be located as shown in Figure 2. In dwelling units with more than one
bedroom area or with bedrooms on more than one oor, more than
one smoke detector is required, as shown in Figure 3.
In addition to smoke detectors outside of the sleeping areas, the
device should be installed on each additional story of the dwelling
unit, including the basement. These installations are shown in Figure
4. The living area smoke detector should be installed in the living
room or near the stairway to the upper level, or in both locations. The
basement smoke detector should be installed in close proximity to the
stairway leading to the oor above. Where installed on an open-joisted
ceiling, the detector should be placed on the bottom of the joists. The
detector should be positioned relative to the stairway so as to intercept
smoke coming from a re in the basement before the smoke enters the
stairway.
Smoke detectors are optional where a door is not provided between
living room and recreation room (Figure 5). The smoke from a re
generally rises to the ceiling, spreads out across the ceiling surface, and
begins to bank down from the ceiling. The corner where the ceiling
and wall meet is an air space into which the smoke could have difculty
