• Don’t return to your home until the fire officials say that it is all right to do so.
There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be effective to protect against fire as stated in the
NFPA Standard 72. For instance:
a) smoking in bed
b) leaving children home alone
c) cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline
Further information on fire safety can be obtained in a pamphlet titled “IN A FIRE SECONDS
COUNT” published by the NFPA, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269
9. NFPA REQUIRED PROTECTION
The National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72 reads as follows:
2-2.1.1.1 Smoke alarms shall be installed outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate
vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements
and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new construction, a smoke alarm shall be
installed in each sleeping room.
A-2.5.2.1 Smoke Detection - Are More Smoke Detectors 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 protec-
tion. 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 the smoke
alarms in the kitchen, attic (finished or unfinished), or garage is normally not recommended, as
these locations occasionally experience conditions that can result in improper operation.
This equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Fire Protection Association’s
Standard 72 (NFPA, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269).
