Which organization is a fire protection engineering firm in Maryland?

• A. Gagnon Engineering
• B. Koffel Associates, Inc.
• C. Parsley Consulting Engineers
• D. Underwriters Laboratories Inc.

Answer: (B)

The question is asking for an organization that is known specifically for fire protection engineering services in Maryland. Koffel Associates, Inc. fits this best because it is a firm specializing in fire protection engineering and design work, with a Maryland presence and experience applying NFPA standards to sprinkler and fire protection systems. The other options do not primarily represent fire protection engineering design firms in Maryland: Underwriters Laboratories Inc. is mainly a safety testing and certification organization, not a design-focused fire protection engineering firm; the remaining names are general engineering consultants without a recognized emphasis on fire protection within Maryland.
