In most cases, yes. If you’re the proud owner of a 5000-square feet of commercial space, it might be time to strongly consider installing fire protection systems at the concerned location. In case you don’t, it may be considered a violation of commercial building codes. But merely having them on the premises is not enough as these sprinklers have to cover every nook and corner of the building. Otherwise, it might not be as effective in putting out a fire. The same regulations are also applicable to structures that are greater than 50 feet in height. Please check building code and consult local fire department to gain a clear understanding
