Recommendations For Proper Protection

The following recommendations for the location of fire and burglary detection
devices help provide proper coverage for the protected premises.

Recommendations For Smoke And Heat Detectors

With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the
recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Standard
#72 noted below.

Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection
equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: For minimum protection
a smoke detector should be installed outside of each separate sleeping area, and on each
additional floor of a multi-floor family living unit, including basements. The installation
of smoke detectors in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or in garages is not
normally recommended.

For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in
the living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and
storage rooms, basements and attached garages.
