In houses with more than one sleeping area, Smoke Alarms
should be placed between each sleeping area and the living
area (for example, see figure 2).
(b) Multi Storey Dwellings
Multi storey dwellings should have a smoke alarm at each level
(see figure 3). The best place for your first Smoke Alarm is in
the downstairs hallway near the stairs. This is because smoke
is likely to be detectable in the hallway before it reaches the
upstairs landing and bedrooms. Your second Smoke Alarm
should be upstairs, because the downstairs Smoke Alarm is
unlikely to detect the smoke from a fire in a bedroom upstairs.
