The following caution is required by the California State Fire Marshall:
“Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection
equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows: (1) A smoke
detector installed in each sleeping area (in the vicinity, but outside of the
bedrooms) and (2) Heat or smoke detectors in the living rooms, dining rooms,
bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, attics, furnace rooms, closets, utility and storage
rooms, basements and attached garages.”
For your information, NFPA Standard 74, Section 2-4 reads as follows:
“2-4.1.1 Smoke detectors shall be installed outside of each separate sleeping
area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of
the family living unit including basements and excluding crawl spaces and
unfinished attics.
The provisions of 2-4.1.1 represent the minimum number of detectors required
by this standard, It is recommended that the householder consider the use of
additional smoke detectors for increased protection for those areas separated by
a door from the areas protected by the required smoke detectors under 2-4.1.1
above. The recommended additional areas are living room, dining room,
bedroom(s), kitchen, attic (finished or unfinished), furnace rooms, utility room,
basement, integral or attached garage and hallways not included in 2-4.1.1
above. However, the use of additional remains the option of the householder.”
We recommend complete coverage and use of additional smoke detectors.
Locations to Install the Smoke Detector in Mobile Homes
and RVs
Mobile homes and RVs built after 1978 were designed and insulated to be
energy-efficient. In mobile homes and RVs built after 1978, smoke detectors
should be installed as outlined above. Older mobile homes and RVs may have
little or no insulation compared to current standards. Outside walls and roofs are
often made of non-insulated metal which can transfer thermal energy flow from
outdoors. This makes the air right next to them hotter or colder than the rest of
the inside air. These layers of hotter or colder air can keep smoke from reaching
the smoke detector. Therefore, install smoke detectors in such units only inside
walls. Place them between XCM (4”X) and XCM (6”) from the ceiling. If you are
not sure how much insulation is in your mobile home or RV, then install the
detector in each room for security. Before you install any detector, please read
the section “Detection Parameters” on page 1.
