Existing child day care facilities may use the notification system now in place
providing it conforms to one of the following requirements:
(a) Direct Alarm transmission to the fire
department; or
(b) Notification by
remote or central station systems; or

appointed to be responsible for the immediate notification of emergency forces
upon the activation or initiation of any detection or alarm device or system
