Code (NFPA Standard 72), a smoke alarm should be
installed:
• In all sleeping rooms and guest rooms.
• Outside of each separate dwelling unit sleeping
area within 21 feet of any door to a sleeping room,
the distance measured along a path of travel.
• On every level of a dwelling unit, including
basements.

The installation of smoke alarms in kitchens, attics

recommended, as these locations occasionally
experience conditions that can result in improper

For this reason, it is recommended that the householder

be placed nearby). Your rst smoke alarm should be
located between the sleeping area and the most likely
sources of re, e.g. living room, but it should not be more
than 21 feet from the door to any room where a re may
start and block your escape from the house.
Single-Story Dwellings: If the premises is one story, you
should put your rst smoke alarm in a corridor or hallway
between the sleeping and living areas. Place it as near to
the living area as possible, but make sure that it can be
heard loudly enough in the bedroom to wake someone.
In houses with more than one sleeping area, smoke
alarms should be placed between each sleeping area
and the living area.
Sufcient smoke must enter your smoke alarm before it
will respond. Your smoke alarm needs to be within 21 feet
of the re to respond quickly. Smoke alarms also need to
be in positions where they can be heard throughout the
property, so they can wake you and your family in time for
everyone to escape.
A single smoke alarm will give some protection if it is
properly installed, but most homes will require two or
more to ensure that a reliable early warning is given. For
recommended protection you should put individual smoke
alarms in all rooms where re is most likely to break out

Placement

Recommended Protection: Fire authorities recommend
you put individual smoke alarms in or near all rooms
where re is most likely to break out (apart from the
locations to avoid, e.g. bathrooms).
The living room is the most likely place for a re to start at
night, followed by the kitchen, and then the dining room.
Consideration should be given to installing smoke alarms
in any bedrooms where res might occur, for instance,
where there is an electrical appliance, such as an electric
blanket or heater, or where the occupant is a smoker.
In addition, consideration should be also given to install-
ing smoke alarms in any rooms where the occupant is
unable to respond very well to a re starting in that room,
such as an elderly or sick person or a very young child.
This device shall not be used with a detector guard.
Placement
Multiple-Story Dwellings: If your home has more than
one oor, at least one smoke alarm should be tted on
each level. Suggested locations shown below:

ForWall Mounting:
If ceiling mounting is impractical, smoke alarms may
be mounted on a wall (if local ordinances permit),
provided that:
Wall mounting should only be considered where close
spaced beams or similar obstructions may preclude
ceiling mounting. It is considered to be the responsibility
of the installer or homeowner to determine if the
presence of asbestos in the ceiling material would make
ceiling mounting impractical.
• The top of the detection element is between 6 inches
and 12 inches below the ceiling.
• The bottom of the detection element is above the
level of any door openings.
Placement
For Ceiling Mounting:
Hot smoke rises and spreads out, so a central ceiling
position is the recommended location. The air is “dead”
and does not move in corners, therefore smoke alarms
must be mounted away from corners. Keep at least 12
inches from walls and corners. Additionally, mount the
unit at least 12 inches from any light tting or decorative
object which might prevent smoke entering the smoke
alarm. Do not attach the detector to removable ceiling
panels.

• NFPA 72 states: Fire-warning equipment for
residential occupancies are capable of protecting
about half of the occupants in potentially fatal res.
Victims are often intimate with the re, too old or
too young, or physically or mentally impaired such
that they cannot escape even when warned early
enough that escape should be possible. For these
people, other strategies such as protection-in-place
or assisted escape or rescue would be necessary.
WARNING: please read carefully and thoroughly.
• Although smoke alarms can help save lives by
providing an early warning of a re, they are not a
substitute for an insurance policy. Homeowners and
renters should have adequate insurance to protect
their properties.
• Smoke alarms cannot provide an audible alarm if
smoke does not reach the detector. Therefore, smoke
alarms may not sense res starting in chimneys,
walls, on roofs, on the other side of a closed door or
on a different oor.
• A battery powered alarm must have a battery of
the specied type, in good condition and installed
properly.
• Studies have shown that smoke and heat alarms may
not awaken all sleeping individuals, and that it is the
responsibility of individuals in the household that are
capable of assisting others to provide assistance to
those who may not be awakened by the alarm sound
or those who may be incapable of safely evacuating
the area unassisted.

• Family Escape Plan: According to National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) there often is very
little time between the detection of a re and the
time it becomes deadly. This interval can be as
little as one or two minutes. Planning and practicing
for re conditions with a focus on rapid exit from
the residence are important. Drills should be held
so that all family members know the action to be
taken.
• The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair one's
ability to hear the smoke alarm. For maximum
protection, a smoke alarm should be installed in
each sleeping area on every level of a home.
• Smoke alarms must be tested regularly to make
sure the batteries and the alarm circuit are in good
operating condition. • Make a home escape plan. Draw a map of your home
showing all doors and windows. Discuss the plan with
everyone in your home.
• Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible.
Make sure all doors and windows leading outside
open easily.
• Practice using different ways out.
Safety Tips:
• If the alarm is located outside the sleeping room or on
a different oor, it may not wake up a sound sleeper.
• Practice your home re drill at night and during the
day with everyone in your home, twice a year.
