Placement
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, 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 install-
ing 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.
This device shall not be used with a detector guard.
