Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability that low temperatures will cause blockage or impairment of water supply to hose stations, which could lead to the improper operation of the equipment in a fire situation, which could lead to the fire not being controlled or suppressed, which could lead to the spread of fire, which could lead to harm to persons.
Intent 2: 
To limit the probability that hoses from hose stations will be of insufficient length, such that hose streams will not be able to reach all portions of a building, which could lead to the fire not being controlled or suppressed, which could lead to the spread of fire, which could lead to harm to persons.
Intent 3: 
To supersede the reference to Part 3 in Sentence 9.10.1.2.(8) in cases of conflict.
