IDK. But smoke detectors are not necessarily required to be in the
actual bedroom.

No; in fact, they should *not* be in the bedroom unless there is an expected source of ignition
in the bedroom (e.g. an idiot who habitually smokes in bed).

Smoke detectors should always be *outside* the bedrooms: if a fire arises elsewhere in the
house, by the time a detector *inside* the bedroom alerts to the smoke, at best, precious time
has been lost -- and at worst, the sleepers are already dead of smoke inhalation.
