Intent
Intent 1: 
To supersede the requirements of the standard referenced in Sentence 3.2.5.9.(1) and require hose stations [for 38 mm diam hose] in certain locations in floor areas, to limit the probability of delays in accessing the water supply to floor areas for firefighting, which could lead to fire emergency response operations being delayed, which could lead to the spread of fire to other parts of the building, which could lead to harm to persons.
