Texas Fire Alarm License Practice Test

What must happen if a red label is attached?

1. The local jurisdiction must reassess the system

2. The property owner must be informed immediately

3. No action is required until the next inspection

4. The fire marshal must conduct a follow-up

The correct answer is: The property owner must be informed immediately

When a red label is attached, it signifies that there is a serious issue with the fire alarm system that needs immediate attention. This labeling serves as an urgent notification to alert involved parties of a potentially hazardous situation. The property owner must be informed right away to ensure that they are aware of the problems and can take the necessary steps to remedy the situation. Prompt communication is crucial in maintaining safety and compliance with fire alarm regulations. In contrast, waiting for reassessment by local jurisdiction or delaying action until the next inspection does not address the immediate concerns indicated by the red label, potentially putting lives and property at risk. Additionally, while the fire marshal may be involved in follow-up actions, their role centers around compliance and enforcement rather than immediate notification of the property owner, which is the primary concern when a red label is present.
