Intent 2: 
To limit the probability that a fire will not be detected in dwelling units or sleeping rooms, which could lead to persons in such rooms not being promptly notified of the fire, which could lead to delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons.
