Intent
Intent 1: 
To supersede the requirements of the standard referenced in Sentence 3.2.5.9.(1) and require a fire department connection for every standpipe system. This is to limit the probability that emergency responders will not be able to supplement the water supply to standpipe systems, which could lead to the ineffectiveness of firefighting operations, which could lead to a fire not being suppressed or controlled, which could lead to the spread of fire, which could lead to damage to the building.
