Where Do I Install Those Pesky Fire Alarm Pull Boxes?

Where should the pull station be located in relationship to an exit?

The California Fire Code (CFC) states that manual fire alarm boxes must be located not more than 5 feet from the entrance to each exit. NFPA 72 further clarifies that manual fire alarm boxes shall be located within 5 feet (60 inches) of the exit doorway opening at each exit on each floor.
