Who must approve the fire safety provisions as part of the fire bill?

• A. Prison warden
• B. Installation fire department
• C. Local fire marshal
• D. Inmate council

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that fire safety provisions inside a correctional facility are approved by the facility’s own fire department. They’re the ones who know the exact layout, equipment, and operations of the installation, so they review the fire bill’s provisions to ensure they match the reality of the building, including alarm and suppression systems, evacuation routes, and staffing during emergencies. Their role is to authorize changes that affect how fire protection is implemented on site, coordinating with local authorities as needed. The prison warden oversees overall operations but doesn’t have the authority to formally approve these safety provisions, inmates’ council has no such authority, and while the local fire marshal may enforce codes and perform inspections, the formal approval for on-site fire safety measures comes from the installation’s fire department.
