    Our floor plan + regulations made for a stupid setup. All three bedrooms and hallway require an alarm. All 4 are within 8’ of each other.

    And there isn’t one in the kitchen!

      The ones in the kitchen will be set off by burnt food… Leading to people disabling the alarm anyway.

      In your kitchen you can get heat sensitive fire alarms instead.

      Afaik, it’s not recommended to have them in kitchens, because harmless culinary mistakes can set them off so people end up disabling them in annoyance. You have to have one in a common area on every floor, but ideally not the kitchen.
