Fire Safety (continued)

• 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 windows

and exiting safely from the building. If exiting is not possible, 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 bottom 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 appropriate

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-

conditioning 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 temperatures

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.
