Smoke Alarm Installation
Install Smoke Alarms In The Proper Locations
Smoke alarms must be installed on each storey of the home as well as outside sleeping areas. Because smoke rises, smoke alarms should be installed on the ceiling. If this is not possible, install the alarm high up on a wall. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing smoke alarms.
Avoid putting smoke alarms too close to bathrooms, windows, ceiling fans and heating and cooking appliances.
REMEMBER: "Home" means all dwellings, including cottages, campers and Motor Homes
Augusta Fire Rescue strongly recommends that you place smoke alarms in each bedroom
