Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability that operation of the sprinkler system will not sound alarm or alert signals, which could lead to persons not being promptly notified of a fire situation, which could lead to delays in evacuation or moving to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons.
Intent 2: 
To limit the probability that emergency responders will not be promptly notified of a fire situation, which could lead to delays or inefficiencies 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.
