Smoke Detection – Are more smoke alarms desirable? The required number of smoke alarms might not provide
reliable early warning protection for 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 in order to increase 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 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).
12.1 | WHERE NOT TO INSTALL SMOKE ALARMS

4. Do not install in areas extremely dusty, dirty or greasy.
5. Do not install in areas where temperature is colder than 40°F (4.4°C) or exceeds 100°F (37.8°C).
