Intent
Intent 1: 
To exempt walls within a group of intercommunicating patients' rooms from the requirements of Sentence 3.3.3.5.(9) to be fire separations on the basis that the occupant load in the rooms is small and that the group of rooms is essentially self-contained and has no storage facilities that would add fire load to the rooms.
