Summary
The facility failed to maintain and test its automatic sprinkler system in accordance with NFPA 25 requirements. During an observation in the outdoor water storage room, electrical wiring was found taped to the sprinkler pipe. This issue was confirmed by the Maintenance Director at the time of observation. The deficiency was identified as potentially affecting all occupants of the 300 wing in the event of a fire, as proper maintenance and testing records were not adequately upheld.
