Here, we have useful tips for you:
• Install a smoke detector in the hallway outside every separate
bedroom area, as shown in Figure 1. Two detectors are required in
homes with two bedroom areas, as shown in Figure 2.
• Install a smoke detector on every floor of a multi-floor home or
apartment, as shown in Figure 3.
• Install a minimum of two detectors in any household.
• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom.
• Install smoke detectors at both ends of a bedroom hallway if the
hallway is more than 40 feet (12 meters) long.
• Install a smoke detector inside every room where one sleeps with
the door partly or completely closed, since smoke could be blocked
by the closed door and a hallway alarm may not wake up the
sleeper if the door is closed.
