3.2.5.5.(1)

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that fire emergency response operations will be delayed or ineffective, 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 to other parts of the building, which could lead to harm to persons.

Intent 2:

To limit the probability that firefighters will have to work too close to a building, which could lead to debris falling on them or excessive radiation exposure from openings in the building face, which could lead to harm to persons, including emergency responders.
