NFPA (NATIONAL FIRE PREVENTION ASSOCITATION)
For your information, the National Fire Protection Association’s Standard 72,
reads as follows:
Smoke Detection. Where required by applicable laws, codes, or standards for
the specified occupancy, approved single and multiple-station smoke alarms
shall be installed as follows:
(1) In all sleeping rooms. (2) Outside of each separate sleeping area, in imme-
diate vicinity of the sleeping rooms. (3) On each level of the dwelling unit,
including basements Exception: In existing one- and two-family dwelling units,
approved smoke alarms powered by batteries are permitted.
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 house-
holder 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 smoke alarms in attics (finished or unfinished),
garages, or within 6’ of a heating or cooking appliance is not normally recom-
mended, as these locations occasionally experience conditions that can result in
improper operation.
CALIFORNIA STATE FIRE MARSHALL

kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms,
basements and attached garages.
