Smoke
detectors should be installed on the ceiling, or 6 to 12 inches below
the ceiling, every 40 feet on each floor of your child care facility.
The detectors should not be installed above "drop down" ceilings
or behind acoustic walls. Test the detectors monthly, and replace batteries
at least every year. Install and maintain enough A-B-C-type fire extinguishers
to be in accordance with insurance requirements or fire marshall recommendations.
Post instructions for their use on or near the extinguishers. Make sure
you and anyone else who works with you know how to use the extinguishers.
