Regulatory Information for Smoke Alarms
Installing Smoke Alarms in Single-Family Residences
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), recommends one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping
area, and in every bedroom. In new construction, the Smoke Alarms must be AC powered and interconnected. See
Agency Placement Recommendations” for details. For additional coverage, it is recommended that you install a
Smoke Alarm in all rooms, halls, storage areas, finished attics, and basements, where temperatures normally remain
between 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) and 100˚ F (37.8˚ C). Make sure no door or other obstruction could keep smoke from
reaching the Smoke Alarms.
For your information, the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, NFPA 72, reads as follows:
Required Detection. Where required by applicable laws, codes, or standards for a specific type of occupancy,
approved single- and multiple-station smoke alarms shall be installed as follows:
In all sleeping rooms and guest rooms
Outside of each separate dwelling unit sleeping area, within 21 ft (6.4 m) of any door to a sleeping room,
the distance measured along a path of travel
On every level of a dwelling unit, including basements
On every level of a residential board and care occupancy (small facility), including basements and
excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics
In the living area(s) of a guest suite In the living area(s) of a residential board and care occupancy
IMPORTANT: Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary from state to state and from
region to region. Check with your local Fire Department for current requirements in your area. It is
recommended AC or AC/DC units be interconnected for added protection.
