fast-burning, explosive, or intentional. Others are caused by care-
lessness or safety hazards. Smoke may not reach the smoke alarm
QUICKLY ENOUGH to ensure safe escape.

Smoke alarms have limitations.

This smoke alarm is not fool-proof

and is not warranted to protect lives or property from fire. Smoke
alarms are not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners and renters
should insure their lives and property. In addition, it is possible for
the smoke alarm to fail at any time.

For this reason, you must test

the smoke alarm weekly and replace every 10 years.

SMOKE ALARM PLACEMENT

Maple Chase Company recommends complete coverage protection
achieved by installing a smoke alarm in every room of your home.
The National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) minimum
requirement, as stated in Standard 72, Chapter 2, reads as 
follows:

“2-2.1.1.1 Smoke detectors shall be installed outside of each sepa-
rate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on
each additional story of the family living unit including basements
and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new construc-
tion a smoke detector also shall be
installed in each sleeping room.

Chapter 2, also reads as follows:

“2-2.2.1 In new construction, where
more than one smoke detector is
required by 2-2.1, they shall be so 
arranged that operation of any smoke 
detector shall cause the alarm in all smoke 
detectors within the dwelling to sound.

The NFPA, 1993 Edition, Appendix A
further states:

“The required number of smoke
detectors may not provide reliable
early warning protection for those
areas separated by a door from
the areas protected by the
required smoke detectors. For
this reason, it is recommended
that the householder consider
the use of additional smoke detectors for those areas for
increased protection. The additional areas include: basement,
bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and hallways
not protected by the required smoke detectors.”

Also, as required by the California State Fire Marshal:

“Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of
fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household
as follows: A smoke detector installed in each separate sleeping
area (in the vicinity, but outside the bedrooms), and heat or smoke
detectors in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens,
hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms,
basements and attached garages.”
