• Provide a barricade between family members and fire, smoke

and toxic gases (i.e. close all bedroom doors before retiring).

• Children should be instructed on opening their bedroom win-

dows and exiting safely from the building. If exiting is not pos-

sible, they should be taught to stay at the open window and

shout for help until it arrives.

• In the event of a fire alarm after retiring, wake the children by

shouting to them from behind your closed door. Tell them to

keep their bedroom doors closed.

• If the top of your bedroom door is uncomfortably hot, do

not open it. There is most likely fire, intolerable heat or smoke

on the other side. Shout to all family members to keep their

bedroom doors closed and to exit the building via alternate

routes.

• If the top of the door is not uncomfortably hot, brace the bot-

tom of the door with your foot, and the top with one hand, then

open the door about one inch. Be prepared to slam the door

shut if there is any pressure against the door or if any hot air

rushes in.

• If there is no evidence of excessive heat or pressure, leave

the room and close the door behind you. Shout appropri-

ate instructions to all family members and immediately leave

the building via the pre-planned routes. If heavy smoke is

present, drop to your hands and knees, or crawl to remain

below the smoke level.

Installation Considerations

Proper location of detection devices is one of the most critical

factors in a fire alarm system.

The following are some general considerations:

• Smoke detectors should

not be installed in "dead

air" spaces or close to

ventilating or air-condi-

tioning outlets because

smoke may be circulated

away from the detector.

Locations near air inlets

should be favored.

• Avoid areas subject to normal smoke concentrations such as

kitchens, garages, or near fireplaces.

• Do not install smoke detectors where normal area tempera-

tures are above 100 degrees F (38 degrees C) or below 32

degrees F (0 degrees C).

• Areas of high humidity and dust concentrations should be

avoided.

• The edge of ceiling mounted detectors should be no closer

than 4 inches (10 cm) from any wall.

• Place the top edge of wall mounted detectors between 4 and

12 inches (10 to 30 cm) from the ceiling.
