N2  - The experiments, which represent fire situations in a hospital patient sleeping room, show that a door frame-mounted detector provides one of the best locations for optimum detector response in this occupancy. Identification of air motion as the single most important factor influencing reaction time of early warning detection devices emphasizes the need to evaluate smoke and ionization detectors under actual conditions of use.<p />
