My wife and I are leasing a building in kaufman county tx. We have spent a lot of our own $ on the building and just now found out that the fire marshall thinks that we will need to put a fire sprinkler system in now. The state requirements say that you must have either a sprinkler system or fire extiguishers for every 2000 sqft. We have installed fire extiguishers throughout the building but the fire marshall is still not satisfied. Also, there is nothing on the kaufman county guildlines for daycare centers that states that you must have a fire sprinkler system? The landlord says that we will have to pay for the system to be installed. Is this fair and what should we do?
