Who receives the findings from inspections conducted by the state fire marshal?

The findings from inspections conducted by the state fire marshal are sent to the Oklahoma State Department of Health. This is important because the health department oversees the regulation and safety compliance of residential care and assisted living facilities, ensuring that they meet the necessary safety standards to protect both the residents and staff.

This process establishes a direct line of accountability and regulatory oversight. The health department can then take appropriate action if a facility is found to be in violation of fire safety codes, which is critical for maintaining a safe living environment for vulnerable populations.

The other options do not align with the regulatory framework governing fire safety inspections. For example, while the local fire department may be involved in fire safety, they do not receive the official findings from the state fire marshal. Facility management would be informed of their own compliance status but would not receive broader state inspection findings. Residents may benefit from improved safety measures resulting from the findings but do not receive the formal reports themselves.
