WARNING: No fire detection device or system should be considered 100 percent foolproof.

This fire alarm system can provide early warning of a developing

fire. Such a system, however, does not ensure protection against

property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire. Any fire

alarm system may fail to warn for any number of reasons (i.e.

smoke not reaching a detector that is behind a closed door).

When considering detectors for residential applications, refer to

NFPA Standard 72, "The National Fire Alarm Code.” This

standard is available at a nominal cost from: The National Fire

Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

If Installed in Family Residences

Adherence to the NFPA Standard 72 can lead to reasonable fire

safety when the following items are practiced:

• Minimize hazards: Avoid the three traditional fire killers:

smoking in bed, leaving children home alone, and cleaning

with flammable liquids.

• Providing a fire warning system: Most fire deaths occur in

the home with the majority during sleeping hours. The minimum

level of protection requires smoke detectors to be installed

outside of each separate sleeping area and on each additional

story of the dwelling.

For added early warning protection, it is recommended that

detectors be installed in all separated areas including the

basement, bedrooms, dining room, utility room, furnace room

and hallways.

Having and Practicing an Escape Plan

A fire warning may be wasted

unless the family has planned in

advance for a rapid and safe exit

from the building.

• Draw a floor plan of the entire

house showing two exits from

each bedroom and two from

the house. Since stairwells and

hallways may be blocked during

a fire, the plan should provide

exits from bedroom windows.

Make copies of the plan and practice it with all family members.

• Pre-arrange a meeting place outside and away from the

residence. Once out of the building, all occupants should

immediately go to the pre-selected location to be accounted

for.
