What NFIRS occupancy classification includes convents, bunkhouses, and nursing quarters?

Commercial
Manufactured homes
Thenormitory/Residence halls
Single-family dwellings

The correct answer is: Thenormitory/Residence halls

The NFIRS occupancy classification that includes convents, bunkhouses, and nursing quarters is the dormitory/residence halls category. This classification is designed to encompass facilities that primarily provide sleeping accommodation for a group of individuals within a communal living arrangement. Convents, as religious residences, are similar to dormitories in that they house multiple individuals, often with shared living and dining facilities. Bunkhouses are typically found in recreational or wilderness settings and serve a similar purpose, providing sleeping quarters for transient occupants. Nursing quarters are designed to accommodate healthcare personnel or patients in a residential setting, which aligns with the communal living aspect inherent in dormitory classifications. This classification is essential for understanding fire protection strategies needed for such facilities, as they often have specific safety considerations due to the number of occupants, the potential for mobility limitations, and shared spaces that may affect evacuation procedures during emergencies.
