You should have at least one smoke detector on every floor of your home, and in or near each bedroom. Detectors should be placed either on the ceiling or 6-12 inches below where the ceiling and wall meets. Make sure detectors are not near heating and cooling ducts, since they may not receive the flow of smoke required to activate them. Also, replace batteries and lamps at least once a year. Either fan away the smoke or relocate the detector.
Smoke detectors can save lives, but only if they are properly installed and maintained.
