4)  Show on the proposed floor plan the locations of all smoke alarms / smoke detectors to verify adequate coverage due to the changes being made.

NOTE: Any smoke alarm (battery / electric type) that is more than 10 years old need to be replaced. Check the back of the smoke alarms to find the born on date or replace by date.

Monday, August 31, 2020 DF: No show a smoke alarm outside of master bedroom doors and heat detector in kitchen. NFPA 101:31.3.4.5.3 requires smoke alarms to be inside every sleeping area in accordance with 101:9.6.2.10 and as modified by 101:31.3.4.5.4.

NOTE: I spoke with Contractor Bill Lanni regarding the smoke alarms in the sleeping areas. Bill said that he agreed that smoke alarms need to be in the sleeping rooms and that he will have them installed. I told Bill that I will place in the plan review comments that the fire inspector at time of the fire final will verify the smoke alarms are installed and operational or they will not be able to give an approval for the permit fire final.
