The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) and other local and national safety advocates recommend installing dual-sensor alarms, such as the new alarm from First Alert, because they provide the best potential for early detection of all types of common household fires while helping to reduce the number of non-emergency or nuisance alarms. Make sure that your home is protected from fire by following the guidelines set by the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), which recommends that homes have smoke alarms installed inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement, and one CO alarm on each level and in each sleeping area. To put this into perspective, the average-sized home in America – a two-story, three-bedroom house – needs a minimum of five smoke alarms and four carbon monoxide alarms.
