Where can the fire alarm system be reset once it has been activated?

The fire alarm system can be reset at the fire alarm control panel because this panel is specifically designed to manage the alarm system’s operations. When an alarm is triggered, the control panel is where the response is initiated and controlled. It allows authorized personnel to reset the system after determining that it is safe to do so, ensuring that all alarms and notifications can be cleared and the system returned to normal status.

Other locations, such as the main entrance or nearest exit, do not typically have the necessary controls for resetting the alarm, as they are usually reserved for egress and evacuation purposes. The fire command center may be involved in coordinating responses to fire emergencies but typically does not directly reset the alarm system unless specifically equipped to do so. Thus, the fire alarm control panel is the primary and most appropriate location for resetting the alarm after it has been activated.
