A-8-1.2.1.C Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable?
The required number of smoke alarms might not provide
reliable early warning protection for those areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the required
smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that
the householder consider the use of additional smoke
alarms for those areas for increased protection. The
additional areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining
room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways not
protected by the required smoke alarms. The installation
of smoke alarms in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or garages is not normally recommended, as these
locations occasionally experience conditions that can
result in improper operation.

Figure 2 - Smoke Alarm Placement
In addition to NFPA 72, use the following location
guidelines to optimize performance and reduce the
chance of false alarms from the alarm:
• Locate ceiling-mounted smoke alarms in the center of
a room or hallway at least 4 inches from any walls or
partitions.
• Locate wall-mounted smoke alarms so the top of the
alarm is 4 to 12 inches below the ceiling.
Knockout
• Locate in a suitable environment as follows:
- Temperature between 40°F (4.4°C) and 100°F (37.8°C)
- Humidity between 0 and 95% non-condensing
• Locate away from air conditioners, heating registers
and any other ventilation source that may interfere
with smoke entering the alarm.

Fire Prevention and Escape
The purpose of an early warning smoke alarm is to detect the presence of fire in its early stages and sound an alarm
giving the occupants time to exit the premises safely.
Be Prepared
Practice the following steps to prepare you and your
family in the event of a fire:
Avoid Fire Hazards
No detection device can protect life in all situations.
Therefore, safeguards should be taken to avoid potentially dangerous situations as follows:
• Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure
recognition of an alarm signal.
• Do not smoke in bed
• Do not leave children home alone
• Draw a floor plan and show two exits from each
room. It is important that children be instructed
carefully, because they tend to hide in times of crisis.
• Never clean with flammable liquids such as gasoline.
Detach and leave with the end user
• Properly store materials. Use general good housekeeping techniques to keep your home neat and tidy.
A cluttered basement, attic, or other storage area is
an open invitation to fire.
• Establish one meeting place outside the home. Insist
that everyone meet there during an alarm. This will
eliminate the tragedy of someone reentering the house
for a missing member who is actually safe.
• Use combustible materials and electrical appliances
carefully and only for their intended uses. Do not
overload electrical outlets
• If you have children and/or physically challenged
people residing in your household, use window decals
to help emergency personnel identify the sleeping
quarters of these individuals.
• Do not store explosive and/or fast burning materials
in your home.
• Even after proper precautions have been taken, fires
can start. Be prepared.
In Case of Fire
In the event of a fire, you should do the following:
• Leave immediately. Don’t stop to pack or search for
valuables.
Smoke alarms CANNOT provide warnings
for fires resulting from explosions, smoking
in bed or other furniture, ignition of flammable liquids, vapors and gases, children
playing with matches or lighters.
• In heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low, crawl
if necessary. The clearest air is usually near the floor.
• If you have to go through a closed door, carefully feel
the door and door knob to see if undue heat is present.
If they seem cool, brace your foot against the bottom
of the door with your hip against the door and one
hand against the top edge. Open it slightly. If a rush
of hot air is felt, slam the door quickly and latch it.
Unvented fire tends to build up considerable pressure.
Be sure all members of the household realizes and
understands this danger.
• Use your neighbor’s phone or a street fire alarm box
to call the fire department. The job of extinguishing
the fire should be left to the professionals.
