Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that a firewall will have
insufficient fire-resistance, which could lead to the spread of fire
from the building to an adjacent building, which could lead to damage
to the adjacent building. Intent 2: To limit the probability that fire will spread from
the subject building to an adjacent building during the time needed
for emergency responders to carry out their duties, which could lead
to damage to the adjacent building. |
