A CAD System is generally linked to a printer and other devices located in a fire station and is known as __.

• A. Radio interop
• B. Station alerting
• C. System alert
• D. Firehouse display

Answer: (B)

Station alerting is the feature that automatically notifies the firehouse and its devices (like printers and dispatch displays) when a CAD dispatch occurs. The CAD system is connected to equipment in the station so alerts are pushed out quickly, ensuring the crew is aware and ready to respond. This term fits best because it specifically denotes notifying the station through those in-station devices. Other terms don’t describe the alerting process to the station: radio interop is about cross-radio communications, system alert is a generic alert concept, and firehouse display refers to showing information rather than actively signaling the crew.
