However, knowing where to place these devices can be a bit confusing. Luckily, the advice below is not only easy to follow, but it also comes from the National Fire Protection Agency:

1) Every sleeping area of a home should have a fire or smoke detector. This is especially important where appliances, such as hair blow dryers, straightening irons and space heaters and portable air conditioners are used.

2) Do not put a smoke or fire detector in your kitchen as doing so could set off activate it every time you cook, especially if you are not an experienced cook.

3) For maximum protection, keep in mind that you may want to put a fire alarm in the living room, dining room, the bedrooms and furnace.

3) Make sure that there is a smoke detector at both ends of the hallway, of this area of your residence is more than 40 feet in length,.
