When a fire protection system is out of service, the COF holder must notify ____________.

• A. MANAGEMENT
• B. FIRE CHIEF
• C. OWNER
• D. SECURITY

Answer: (A)

When a fire protection system is out of service, the immediate step is to inform the person or group responsible for overall facility operations and compliance—management. This ensures there is a coordinated response: arranging repairs, implementing temporary safety measures, updating records, and triggering any required external notifications through the proper channels. Management has the authority to coordinate maintenance, safety controls, and regulatory communications as needed. Reporting to the Fire Chief, the Owner, or Security isn’t the routine path for this notification in this context; they’re involved in different roles—fire department actions, ownership decisions, or access protection, respectively—but the first point of contact for system status changes is management.
