iiRECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPER PROTECTIONThe Following Recommendations for the Location of Fire and Burglary DetectionDevices Help Provide Proper Coverage for the Protected Premises.Recommendations For Smoke And Heat DetectorsWith regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the recommendationscontained 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 roomsand areas of the household as follows: For minimum protection a smoke detector should be installedoutside 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 ingarages is not normally recommended.For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install heat or smoke detectors in the livingroom, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage rooms,basements and attached garages.In addition, we recommend the following:• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where a smoker sleeps.• Install a smoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the door partly orcompletely closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway outsidemay not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed.DININGKITCHEN BEDROOMBEDROOMBEDROOMBEDROOMLIVING ROOMJJJ JJssBEDROOMBDRMBDRMDININGLIVING ROOMTV ROOM KITCHENn nnJJJJ JJsJJJBEDROOM BEDROOMTOBRnnnnnLVNG RMBASEMENTKTCHNss.

This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows ina multi-level building.In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in a security system so that alarm signals canstill be sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order (alarmsignals are normally sent over the phone lines, if connected to an alarm monitoring station).
