When restoring a fire protection system to normal operations, which entity is NOT required to be notified?

Notifying the fire alarm vendor is not typically required when restoring a fire protection system to normal operations. The primary focus during this process is on the entities that are directly responsible for the operation and oversight of the facility and its safety systems.

The building owner must be informed to ensure they are aware of any changes to the system’s status and can manage ongoing safety protocols effectively. The local fire department should also be notified, particularly if they need to update their records or if there were any incidents related to the fire protection system's operations. The maintenance team plays a critical role in ensuring the system functions correctly and may need to be informed of any changes or restorations so they can manage the system appropriately going forward.

In contrast, while the fire alarm vendor might need to be involved for maintenance, upgrades, or troubleshooting specific issues with the fire alarm system, they are not typically a necessary point of contact during the routine restoration of operations. Thus, the rationale behind not requiring notification to the fire alarm vendor is rooted in the operational responsibilities of the other entities involved in the daily safety management of the facility.
