Which option is a Fire Alarm category for detention/corrections?

• A. Fire Alarm - Business
• B. Fire Alarm - Detention/Corrections
• C. Fire Alarm - Assembly
• D. Silent Alarm

Answer: (B)

Fire alarm categories tailor the response to the type of location and how staff and dispatch should be alerted. For detention or corrections facilities, a category specifically labeled for Detention/Corrections signals that the alarm is happening inside a secure, custody-focused environment, triggering procedures unique to those settings and coordinating with on-site staff and supervisors who manage cell blocks, lockdowns, and controlled evacuations. This specialization is what distinguishes it from other categories: a business category is for office-type environments, an assembly category for large gathering spaces, and a silent alarm represents a covert alert mechanism rather than a fire alarm in a general sense. Therefore, the Detention/Corrections designation is the best fit for detention/corrections contexts.
