How many smoke detectors should I have in my home? Where should I put my Carbon Monoxide Detector?

Q: My house is 20 years old and it is a 1 1/2 story with a full basement. The gas furnace/water heaters are in the basement. Access to the basement is through the interior of the house and it’s walk-out. I’m planning on totally replacing the smoke detectors, they are not hard wired. With this considered, how many battery operated smoke detectors should I get for my home? 2600 sq feet finished living space with a full unfinished basement. Where should I install the Carbon Monoxide detector?

A: Check with your local fire department and they will be GLAD to come to your house and show you where to put up all your detectors and also what type of fire extinguishers to have and where to hang them. And it’s a good idea in another aspect…the fire department refreshes themselves on your location. They may also provide window stickers for bedrooms and pets.

A: Yes, I agree with you. It just kills me when I see people smoke in a vehicle with a child in it. I hope they start giving out tickets for that soon. Remember the old bill boards along the expressways and highways? They still have them. Instead of advertising the Marlboro Man or the Camel guy, they could show people like me. I have COPD. I am on oxygen 24/7. I have end stage which means there is nothing left they can try on me that they haven’t already. They can sit me in the wheelchair with my oxygen tanks next to me and all my inhalers/meds sitting on a table next to me. The board could say something like, “This WILL be you. ENJOY that smoke”! Then have a child about 5 standing next to me coughing. Then it says, “If you don’t think of yourself, what about them?”What do you think of that idea?
