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 addi-
tional areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, fur-
nace 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 condi-
tions 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).
NOTIFY YOUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT AND INSURANCE COM-
PANY OF YOUR SMOKE ALARM INSTALLATION.
11. CAUTION (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 alarm installed in each separate sleeping area
(in the vicinity of, but outside of the bedrooms), and heat or
smoke detectors in the living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms,
kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and stor-
age rooms, basements and attached garages."
