CAM 317, Smoke Detectors in Residences and Family Day Care Homes
|
| Smoke alarms are important in alerting sleeping people to a fire. They must be located and operate in such a way that they are effective both in detecting smoke and in alerting residents. This Client Assistance Memo (CAM) describes the requirements for smoke alarms in residences, both single family and multifamily, and in home day cares (Groups R-2 and R-3 occupancies). It addresses new construction and alterations (see Seattle Fire Code Section 907.3 for retroactive requirements in existing buildings). |
