Smoke Alarms in all rooms where fire is

most likely to break out (apart from the

kitchen and bathroom).

Your first Smoke Alarm should be located

between the sleeping area and the most

likely sources of fire (living room for

example), but it should not be more than

6.4 metres (21ft)from the door to any

room where a fire may start and block

your escape from the house.

Multi-Storey Dwellings

If your home has more than one floor, at

least one Alarm should be fitted on each

level (see Figure 1). Preferably the Alarms

should be interconnected (if feature is

present on unit) so as to give sufficient

warning throughout the property.

Figure 1 illustrates where Smoke and

Heat Alarms should be located in a

typical two storey house. Note the

spacings in "Protection Levels" which

ensure the early detection of fire and that

the warning will be heard.

Locate Heat Alarms in rooms adjoining

escape routes - kitchens, garages, boiler

houses etc. where Smoke Alarms are

unsuitable.

Figure 1

For minimum protection

- Smoke Alarm on each storey

- in each sleeping area

- every 6.4 metres (21ft) of hallways and

rooms

- within 3 metres (10ft) of all bedroom

doors

- all units interconnected (where feature

is present)

For recommended protection

(in addition to the above):

- Smoke Alarms in every room (except

kitchens and bathrooms)

- Heat Alarms located in kitchens,

garages etc. within 5.3m (17ft) of

potential fire sources

Single Storey Dwelling

If the premises is one storey you should

put your first Smoke Alarm in a corridor

or hallway between the sleeping and

living areas. Place it as near to the living

area as possible, but make sure that

it can be heard loudly enough in the

bedroom to wake someone. See Figure 2

for placement example.

In houses with more than one sleeping

area, Smoke Alarms should be placed

between each sleeping area and the

living area and it is recommended that

Heat Alarms should be placed in the

kitchen and garage.

Recommended Protection

Fire authorities recommend you put

individual Smoke Alarms in or near all

rooms where fire is most likely to break

out (apart from the locations to avoid

e.g bathrooms). The living room is the

most likely place for a fire to start at

night, followed by the kitchen (where a

Heat Alarm is recommended) and then

the dining room. Consideration should

be given to installing Smoke Alarms in

any bedrooms where fires might occur,

for instance, where there is an electrical

appliance such as an electric blanket

or heater, or where the occupant is

a smoker. In addition, consideration

should be also given to installing Smoke

Alarms in any rooms where the occupant

is unable to respond very well to a fire

starting in that room, such as an elderly

or sick person or a very young child.

Checking Alarms Can Be Heard

With the Alarms sounding in their

intended locations check that the alarm

can be heard in each bedroom with the

door closed, above the sound of any TV/

audio systems. The TV/audio systems

should be set to a reasonably loud

conversation level. If you cannot hear the

alarm over the sound of the TV/audio

system, the chances are it would not

wake you. Interconnecting the Alarms

will help to ensure that the alarm will be

heard throughout the property.

Ceiling Mounting

Hot smoke rises and spreads out,

so a central ceiling position is the

recommended location. The air is "dead"

and does not move in corners, therefore

Smoke Alarms must be mounted away

from corners. Keep at least 305mm

(12") from walls and corners (see Figure

3). Additionally, mount the unit at least

305mm (12") from any light fitting or

decorative object which might prevent

smoke entering the Smoke Alarm.
