Intent 2:

To limit the probability that water from firefighting operations will cause the stored products to swell, which could lead to structural failure of the building, which could lead to:

• impairment of automatic fire suppression systems, which could lead to such systems not suppressing or controlling a fire.

This is to limit the probability of the spread of fire, which could lead to damage to the building.
