Installing smoke detectors helps you feel safe from a possible fire. Staying aware of their correct placement and maintenance will help ensure that smoke in your home is detected.

Most fatal fires occur late at night or early morning, while you're asleep. 由于这个原因， 全国消防协会 recommends placing smoke detectors in every occupied bedroom, 每层楼都是如此, 包括地下室.

In the kitchen, place the smoke detector away from the stove to prevent false alarms. If someone in your home is deaf or hard of hearing, consider a detector that also combines flashing lights with its alarm sound. If you are installing your detector on a wall and not the ceiling, remember to place it 4-12 inches from the ceiling.
