• D. Division 28

Answer: (D)

Fire alarm specifications sit with the Electrical division because the system is defined by electrical components and wiring. Fire alarm gear—the control panels, power supplies, wiring, initiating devices, and notification devices—are all electrical tasks that require coordination with power distribution and electrical installation. Grouping these specs in the Electrical division keeps everything related to power, cabling, and electrical hardware in one place, making coordination easier with other electrical work. It’s not placed with plumbing or site work, and unlike fire suppression systems (which fall under a different discipline), the alarm system is treated as part of the electrical scope. So the fire alarm specifications are found in the Electrical division.
