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.
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.
