Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that electrical conductors will fail prematurely when exposed to fire, which could lead to fire alarm systems and emergency equipment not operating properly in a fire situation, which could lead to:

  • fire emergency response operations being delayed or ineffective, which could lead to:
    • delays in the evacuation or movement of persons 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,
  • persons not being promptly notified of the fire situation, which could lead to delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons, and
  • the buildup of smoke in exit stairs or floor areas, which could lead to:
    • delays or inefficiencies in fire suppression operations, which could lead to the spread of fire, which could lead to harm to persons, including emergency responders, and
    • delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons.
