All premises which the fire department may be called upon to protect in case of fire and which are not readily accessible from public streets shall be provided with access routes and fire lanes so that all buildings on the premises are accessible to fire department apparatus. Such access routes and fire lanes shall be designated by the fire marshal of the bureau of fire prevention when in his judgment they are necessary for effective firefighting operations.
