1. RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR ALARMS
• Locate the first alarm in the immediate area of the sleeping rooms.
Try to monitor the exit path as the sleeping rooms are usually far-
thest from the exit. If more than one sleeping area exists, locate
additional alarms in each sleeping area (See figure 3).
• 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.
