Which of the following is not required for a fire alarm system in a commercial building?

Manual pull stations
Smoke detectors in every room
Automatic sprinklers
Voice communication capability

The correct answer is: Smoke detectors in every room

While smoke detectors are an important component of a fire alarm system, they are not required in every room of a commercial building. Manual pull stations, automatic sprinklers, and voice communication capability are all necessary elements for a fire alarm system. Manual pull stations allow individuals to manually activate the alarm in case of a fire. Automatic sprinklers help to suppress the fire and prevent it from spreading. Voice communication capabilities provide a way for emergency responders to communicate with building occupants during an emergency. While smoke detectors are important, they are not required in every room as other components of the system are responsible for detecting and responding to a fire.
