3.2.4.16.(1)

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that operation of the sprinkler system will not sound alarm 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 able to locate the area of fire origin, 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.
