Définition : Did the detector succeed in alerting the occupants, or not?
 
Purpose : The information on whether or not a detector alerted the occupants of a structure to an emergency is important for understanding fire control and life safety with and without detection equipment.
Entry : Check or mark the box if a detector alerted the occupants in this incident (regardless of whether the detector was smoke, heat, carbon monoxide, etc.). This block can be left blank for non-fire incidents, and can optionally be used for a carbon monoxide (CO) incident and whether a CO detector operated.
