recommended that the householder consider the use of additional
smoke alarms for those areas for increased protection. The addi-
tional areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, fur-
nace 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).
NOTIFY YOUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT AND INSURANCE COM-
PANY OF YOUR SMOKE ALARM INSTALLATION.
