Which type of internal fire detection system is used only in communities that have municipal alarm box systems?

• A. Auxiliary
• B. Proprietary
• C. Central station
• D. Remote station

Answer: (A)

Auxiliary signaling is used in communities that have municipal alarm box systems. In this arrangement, the building’s fire alarm activates the municipal alarm box network, which then dispatches the fire department. No private monitoring company is responsible for notifying the authorities. The other signaling services rely on private central or remote monitoring or on-site staff, and they do not depend on a municipal alarm box system, so they aren’t limited to communities with municipal boxes.
