3.3.3.5.(17)

Objective

OP1 Fire Protection of the Building

Attribution

Intent

Intent 1:

To exempt fire separations between individual suites of care occupancy and an attached storage garage from the fire-resistance rating requirements of Sentence 3.3.5.6.(1) on the basis that the suite and the attached storage garage are sprinklered and separated from the remainder of the building.

This [the separation and sprinkler protection] is to limit the probability that a fire involving the garage will spread to the suite, which could lead to damage to the building.
