SMOKE DETECTION
Are more smoke alarms desirable?
The required number of smoke alarms might
not provide reliable early warning protection
for those areas separated by a door from
the areas protected by the required smoke
alarms. For this reason, the use of additional
smoke alarms for those areas for increased
protection is recommended. The additional
areas include the dining room, and hallways
not protected by the required smoke alarms.
The installation of smoke alarms in kitchens,
attics (finished or unfinished), or garages is
not normally recommended, because these
locations occasionally experience conditions
that can result in improper operation. As Nest
Protect is also a Carbon Monoxide alarm, it is
not recommended to install it in a furnace room
or a utility room if it contains a water heater or
a furnace. It should be 15-20 feet from these

perceived nuisance alarms.

protection in these facilities.
