INSTALLATION LAYOUT
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection
equipment in the location as follows:
In homes with more than one sleeping area a smoke detector should be provided
to protect each area. Smoke detectors shall be located between the sleeping area
and the rest of the house. In the diagram above, a + represents a smoke detector.
NOTE: Refer to N.F.P.A. 874 Appendix B1.1 through B-10.
Preparation of an evacuation plan is of prime importance in fire prevention.
Establish a household or business emergency evacuation plan to be followed in
the event of a fire.
1. Evaluate possible escape routes from your home or business.
2. Select 2 escape routes from each room.
3. Rooms on the second floor should have a rope ladder (make sure it reaches
the ground) or fire escape.
4. Draw a rough sketch of your escape plan so everyone is familiar with it.
5. Practice your escape plan to make sure everyone knows what to do.
6. Establish a meeting place outside where everyone will meet.
7. Advise the local fire authority that you have installed a fire alarm system.
8. When the fire alarm signals, LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. Do not stop for
belongings.
