“I would hope that one was required by the state as well as the county and that it was kept in good working order.”

I’m a resident of the same city and county as the nursing home, but a different township.

My 12 year old townhouse has an obscene amount of sprinklers, to the point that guests comment on the fact. (the family room is roughly 12 x 20 and has 5 sprinkler heads, and the bedrooms have 2 or 3 each.)

Not sure what was up with this facility.

I think our zoning was revised that all new construction town houses and multi-family dwellings have to have a sprinkler system. I'm in Cecil County, MD.

I did see one report that said the firemen noticed reduced water pressure but that could have just been from the sheer number of units on the scene. We'll hopefully find out and the other like facilities can take steps to make sure it doesn't happen again.
