Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability that the occupants of sleeping rooms [in buildings that are sufficiently large that a smoke alarm in a sleeping room might not be audible to occupants in all other sleeping rooms] will not be promptly notified of a fire in another part of the building, which could lead to delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons.
