Which code is Fire Alarm - Rooming, Lodging, & Boarding?

• A. 3R
• B. 3HM
• C. 4
• D. 6R

Answer: (A)

In this signaling system, the number points to the broad type of incident, and the letter indicates the specific setting or context. Fire Alarm combined with the lodging-related setting is represented by the code that uses the lodging suffix. That combination tells responders there’s a fire alarm occurring at a place where people sleep or stay—hotels, motels, dorms, or other boarding facilities—and signals them to prepare for a fire-alarm response in a lodging environment.

So the code that matches Fire Alarm in Rooming, Lodging, & Boarding is the lodging-identified fire alarm code. This is the only option that correctly pairs the Fire Alarm category with the rooming/lodging/boarding context, ensuring responders know both the emergency type and the applicable building setting. Other possibilities either point to a different incident category or omit the lodging context, so they wouldn’t convey the same precise situation.
