System that connects the protected property with the fire department alarm communication center by a municipal master fire alarm box or over a dedicated telephone line.

• A. Remote Receiving System
• B. Central Station System
• C. Public Emergency Alarm Reporting System
• D. Protected Premises System

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is identifying a fire alarm signaling path that sends the alarm directly to the fire department’s alarm center through public infrastructure. The Public Emergency Alarm Reporting System is designed to connect the protected property straight to the fire department’s alarm communication center, using a municipal master fire alarm box or a dedicated telephone line. That direct link means the fire department receives the alert without needing a private monitoring company to relay it first, enabling faster dispatch in an emergency. This differs from a central station system, which routes signals to a private central monitoring station that then communicates with authorities, rather than a direct municipal fire alarm center. A remote receiving system is another private-monitoring setup that receives signals at a remote location and forwards them, not the city’s own alarm center. A protected premises system is local to the building and may sound alarms there but does not automatically transmit to the fire department’s communication center.
