(a) Nursing homes or boarding care homes which are occupied by bed patients or by ambulatory patients and residents shall be protected throughout, including stairways, closets, basements, cellars, attics, storage rooms and chutes, by a system of automatic sprinklers installed and maintained in accordance with approved standards.
(b) Water-flow alarms shall be provided on all sprinkler installations. Central station water-flow alarm service is desirable but central station water-flow alarm service does not necessarily waive the local alarm requirement.
(c) When a sprinkler system is installed plans shall be submitted to the State Fire Marshal for approval before installation is made.
