Smoke detectors

Smoke detectors are an essential part of your family's first line of defense against fires. Research shows that chances of escape and survival are greater if you detect fire at its first stages, before it grows out of control.

By properly installing smoke detectors you can extinguish a fire before it grows to a disaster-scale fire that requires the intervention of your local fire department.

It is important that your smoke detectors are installed properly and maintained frequently so they can operate effectively to provide you with safety. The proper position of your smoke detectors is a key factor in their ability to provide efficient warning of fires.

Proper Location

Keep in mind that the main duty of a smoke detector is to awaken sleeping people to alert them of urgent fire danger. It is important to install the smoke detectors as close as possible to all bedrooms. If there is one main area where bedrooms are located, you can install it in a central location between these bedrooms. If the bedrooms in your home are separated, by multiple floors for example, install the smoke detector near each area. The best location is usually the hallway next to each bedroom.
