               All premises where buildings or portions of buildings are located more than 300 feet
               from a fire hydrant shall be provided with approved on-site fire hydrants and water
               mains capable of supplying the water flow required by the fire marshal's office. The
               location and number of on-site hydrants shall be designated by the fire marshal's
               office, with the minimum arrangement being so as to have a hydrant available for distribution
               of hose to any portion of any building on the premises at distances not exceeding
               300 feet. All fire hydrants shall be installed on water lines that are a minimum of
               six inches in diameter, wherever water main lines are reasonably accessible as determined
               by the fire marshal's office. Fire hydrants are required in business and multifamily
               dwelling areas and shall not be more than 600 feet apart. Fire hydrants are also required
               in all one- and two-family dwelling areas, and such hydrants shall not be more than
               1,000 feet apart. The placement of all hydrants is subject to the written approval
               of the fire marshal's office, which must be obtained at the time or prior to the time
               the building permit is issued.
