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, it is recommended that the householder consider the use of
additional smoke alarms for those areas for increased protection. The additional
areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace 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 conditions 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).
