Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability that fire alarm signals will not be properly transmitted to the fire department in a fire situation, which could lead to emergency responders not being promptly notified of a fire situation, which could lead to delays in carrying out fire emergency response operations, which could lead to:
  • delays in evacuation or moving to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons, and
  • the spread of fire, which could lead to harm to persons.
