Certification by the state fire marshal in Ohio is required for which activities?

• A. Installing fire pumps
• B. Testing and inspecting fire alarm systems
• C. Installing fire alarm systems
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

In Ohio, work on fire protection systems must be performed by certified personnel to ensure proper training and safety standards are met. Because installing a fire pump directly affects the building’s ability to suppress a fire, installing fire alarm systems requires careful adherence to codes and standards, and testing and inspecting fire alarm systems is essential to verify they will function when needed, all of these activities require state fire marshal certification. Therefore, every listed activity—installing fire pumps, installing fire alarm systems, and testing/inspecting fire alarm systems—needs that certification.
