1. RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR ALARMS
• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the bedrooms.
Try to monitor the exit path as the bedrooms are usually farthest
from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate
additional alarms in each sleeping area.
• Locate alarms in accordance with local building codes, ordinances
or laws.
• Locate additional alarms to monitor any stairway as stairways act
like chimneys for smoke and heat.
• Locate at least one alarm on every floor level.
• Locate an alarm in every bedroom.
• Locate an alarm in every room where electrical appliances are
operated (i.e. portable heaters or humidifiers).
• Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with the
door closed.
