What does FDSOA stand for?

• A. Fire Department Safety Officer Association
• B. Fire Department Standards and Operations Association
• C. Fire District Safety Officer Alliance
• D. Fire Department Safety Organization of America

Answer: (A)

FDSOA stands for Fire Department Safety Officer Association. The acronym is built from Fire, Department, Safety, Officer, Association, in that order. That ending word—Association—gives the final “A” and is the only option among the choices that matches the standard way this professional group is named. The other options change words like the ending to Operations, Alliance, or Organization, which would not produce the same acronym.
