You need working smoke alarms for all dwellings.
Smoke alarms must be:
- cleaned
- checked

- maintained.
It is your responsibility to complete these actions.

They must be:
- no closer than 30cm from the junction of a ceiling and a wall
- installed on every storey of a building
- located between the bedroom and the remainder of that storey.
