Abstract
Determining the most appropriate locations for smoke alarms in dwellings requires consideration of the likely smoke sources involved in fires resulting in injury or death, detector type, alarm sound and the alarm brand (or manufacturer) because these factors affect the time taken for smoke detection and/or the likelihood of effective notification of occupants. This project was intended to help determine the most appropriate location(s) of smoke alarms in dwellings considering both detection and occupant notification.
