1. RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE 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.
• Locate an alarm in every sleeping room.
• Locate an alarm in every room where electrical appliances are
operated (i.e. portable heaters or humidifiers).
• Locate an alarm in every room where someone sleeps with the door
closed. The closed door may prevent an alarm not located in that
room from waking the sleeper.
