Which alarm system is a combination of alarm components designed to detect a fire and/or transmit an alarm on the immediate premises?

• A. Local
• B. Central station
• C. Auxiliary
• D. Remote monitoring

Answer: (A)

This describes a local fire alarm system. A local system combines detectors, a control panel, and audible/visible notification devices that operate on the premises itself, alerting occupants right there without sending the alarm off-site. It detects a fire and immediately transmits the alarm to devices within the building, so people inside can respond promptly.

The other options involve off-site monitoring or signaling beyond the immediate premises. Central station and remote monitoring require notifying a monitoring service elsewhere, while auxiliary signaling typically refers to additional protective signaling beyond standard on-site alarms.
