Fire Safety

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 (e.g. 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, 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.

• Prearrange 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.
