Strobeline: fire alarm inspections, recorded on site
A phone-based workflow for recording NFPA 72 fire alarm inspection results, including offline device-by-device testing and report signing.
- For
- Fire alarm inspectors and the offices reviewing their reports
- Worth noticing
- The next year's device list carries over with every result blank, so the prior inspection's pass marks are not reused.
Field notes
The described workflow starts with an office pasting rows from an existing Excel sheet; Strobeline says it shows the matched columns before saving anything. On the inspection, each device gets a Pass, Fail, or Not tested result, and the page says a failure opens a problem record. The Texas-specific section names blue, yellow, and red label items and notice deadlines, while clarifying that jurisdictional PDF uploads remain the user's responsibility.
