6. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors such as in chimneys in walls on roofs or on the other side of closed doors If bedroom doors are usually closed at night detectors should be placed in each bedroom as well as in the common hallway between them Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of the residence or building For example a second floor detector may not sense a first floor or basement fire Therefore detectors should be placed on every level of a residence or building The horn in your detector meets or exceeds current audibility requirements of Underwriters Laboratories However if the detector is located outside a bedroom it may not wake a sound sleeper especially if the bedroom door is closed or only partly open If the detector is located on a different level of the residence than the bedrooms it is even less likely to wake up people sleeping in the bedrooms In such cases the National Fire Protection Association recommends that the detectors be interconnected so that all detectors sound an alarm when any one of the detectors sense smoke All types of smoke detectors have limitations No type of smoke detector 3 can sense every kind of fire every time In general detectors may not always warn you about fired caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed violent explosions escaping gas improper storage of flammable materials overloaded e
