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 addi-
tional 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 the smoke alarms in
the kitchen, attic (finished or unfinished), or garage is normally not
recommended, as these locations occasionally experience condi-
tions 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).

ens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage
