Install smoke alarms inside and outside every bedroom and sleeping area (like a hallway). Install on every level of the home, including the basement. A smoke alarm should be on the ceiling or high on a wall. Keep smoke alarms away from the kitchen to reduce nuisance, or false, alarms. They should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from the stove.
