For the minimum
level of protection in a single storey dwelling (flat or
bungalow etc.) you should install the smoke alarm in the hallway
(corridor) between living and sleeping areas. Install as close
as possible to
living areas but ensuring you can hear it loudly enough to awaken
people sleeping in their bedrooms with the doors closed. |
If the dwelling is
very large or the hallway longer than 12 metres a single alarm
will not be sufficient.
A smoke alarm should be installed not more than 6 metres away
from potential fire hazards. |
