Which of the following is not required for a fire alarm system in a high-rise building?

Manual pull stations
Smoke detectors in every suite
Automatic sprinklers
Emergency lighting

The correct answer is: Smoke detectors in every suite

Smoke detectors in every suite may seem like a necessary component for a fire alarm system in a high-rise building, but they are actually not required. While smoke detectors are important for detecting fires, manual pull stations and automatic sprinklers are more crucial for alerting occupants and controlling the fire. Emergency lighting is also important for providing visibility during an emergency. Therefore, while smoke detectors are certainly helpful, they are not a necessary requirement for a fire alarm system in a high-rise building.
