Can you tell me if there are towns and villages in Canada, USA or in Europe, known for having adopted a regulation requiring electrical smoke alarms in each bedroom in addition to one per floor?

Not being up on building codes, I can tell you that all new construction in Ohio requires it. My house has more smoke detectors than I care to admit to due to this.Jason Brooks

Most states in the US adopt some form of the ICC building codes so most of them have required smoke alarms in all sleeping areas since 2003ish.Originally posted by cj78 View Post"Nemo Plus Voluptatis Quam Nos Habant"

The Code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.Comment

Not just the law... its also a good idea.I am now a past chief and the views, opinions, and comments are mine and mine alone. I do not speak for any department or in any official capacity. Although, they would be smart to listen to me.

We teach people to sleep with their doors closed to prevent smoke from coming in but that also prevents smoke from going out and reaching a hallway detector.Originally posted by ChiefKN View Post

This is also why we still have a baby monitor in our five year old's bedroom.Originally posted by dragonfyre View Post
If you've done this more then a few years you've seen people lose their lives because of the lack of these very cheap devices.I am now a past chief and the views, opinions, and comments are mine and mine alone.

I am asked to propose a new regulation that would require the presence of smoke detectors in all beadrooms. Someone can help me to find examples of regulations... Looking for website where I would find examples? Even better, a contact in a municipality that applies these bylaw would be great... Thanks.Originally posted by DeputyMarshal View Post

Just a question. What do you do for a living?? It may help better answer your questionComment

Go to the ICC website and you can check there- also NYS requires them - you can access the Code on line (2007 edition at least), the wording is almost identical to the ICC wording.
Why reinvent the wheel.....and at least in NY they are not 'bylaws' (you meant something else perhaps)....it is Law.Comment

First, excuse my English, it is not perfect
I am Captain responsible for fire prevention for a municipality of 6,000 people. It's true, do not reinvent the wheel and that's why I'm looking on forums outside of Canada, because here it is not yet the norm. When I say that this bylaw is the level of competence that belongs to us (town). For a law, it should be initiated at government level and this may be my next challenge ...Comment

What building/fire codes are currently adopted in your province? Even if the requirements you're looking for aren't already there it would still be easier to adopt model language for the same code systems you already have."Nemo Plus Voluptatis Quam Nos Habant"
