You can use a PNP or an NPN transistor in a fire alarm circuit. Both will work. It all depends on how you want to energize the alarm, and with what polarity of signal.
A PNP transistor has no advantage or disadvantage over an NPN transistor in its ability as an amplifier. Rather, the current-handling capacities of the transistor determine if it's usable as an amplifier.
The PNP switch circuit uses a PNP transistor to control the flow of current based on the input signal. When the input signal is high, the transistor allows current to flow from the collector to the emitter, turning the switch "on". When the signal is low, the transistor blocks current flow, turning the switch "off".

No. The PNP and NPN transistors are exactly opposite each other in polarity. You cannot just replace one for the other without redesigning the circuit.

To convert an NPN signal to a PNP signal, you can use an inverter circuit, typically implemented with a transistor or a logic gate. For a simple transistor-based solution, connect the NPN transistor's collector to the power supply, its emitter to the load, and the base to the NPN signal through a resistor. When the NPN is on (high signal), it will turn off the PNP transistor, resulting in a low output, and vice versa, effectively inverting the signal.
The BC548 and BC557 are different types of transistors; the BC548 is an NPN transistor, while the BC557 is a PNP transistor. Because of this fundamental difference, they cannot be used interchangeably in circuits that require specific transistor types for operation. If your application requires a PNP transistor, you cannot substitute a BC548 for a BC557 without altering the circuit's design. Always ensure the transistor's characteristics match the requirements of your application.

BT169 is neither an NPN nor a PNP transistor. BT169 is a thyristor, otherwise known as a silicon controlled rectifier.
