What is a lever like devices mounted on walls usually outside of common rooms or large interior spaces with the most expected foot traffic?
What is Manual Pull Station.
What is a system that detects products of combustion such as smoke, heat, and light which provide early warnings for occupants to make a safe exit before later stages of the fire are reached?
What is Fire Alarm System.
What type of detector uses body heat from anything living within its survey area to trigger an alarm?
What is Infrared Motion Detectors.
What is the second building construction type?
What is Non Combustible (Type 2) Construction.
What is used to detect heat and fusible link melts closing the dampers?
What is fire dampers.
What uses a filter assembly in which air samples are continuously pushed through a detection chamber in which a compressed xenon gas tube projects light through the particulate within the detection chamber, and an alarm is triggered once an obscuration threshold is reached?
What is Air sampling Smoke Detectors.
What type of detector employs metal alloys designed to rapidly melt at a desired temperature?
What is Fusible Alloy detector.
What type of detector can record and store information about certain events or whenever an alarm is triggered?
What is Video and Audio Surveillance.
What are the three things needed for a fire to occur?
What is oxygen (air), heat, and fuel.
What is used to detect smoke that closes, preventing air and smoke from passing through a vent or duct?
What is smoke dampers.
What class extinguisher is used for energized electrical equipment?
What is class C.
What type of system provides preprogrammed recorded messages that offer direction, instructions, and a calming voice in an emergency situation?

What is security guards.
What are the two different temperatures that we went over?
What is piloted ignition temperature and autoignition temperature.
What is a building material's surface-burning qualities that are tested using the ASTM E 84 method, and the results are converted into a single number that represents the smoke developed rating?
What is Smoke Developed Rating.
What is an internal piping network connected to fire-hose stations that are used to rapidly suppress a fire call?
What is a standpipe system.
