I've been searching the internet and reading through the California fire code. For a single story home (ranch style) it seems like you need a smoke detector/CO in each bedroom and the hallway leading to the bedrooms. It seems you do NOT need a smoke detector/CO anywhere else for a single story home.
All smoke detectors/CO must be hard wired with battery backup, and if one sounds all must sound.
Does this sound correct?
Thanks.
