Intent 1:
To supersede the requirements of Sentence 3.2.4.16.(1) and exempt certain occupancies and locations from
the need to have manual stations, if certain conditions are met.
These conditions are to limit the probability that:
- a fire will not be suppressed or controlled, which could
lead to the spread of fire,
- emergency responders will be delayed in carrying out
fire emergency response operations, which could lead to:
- delays in evacuation or moving to a safe place, and
- the spread of fire, and
- persons will be delayed in evacuation or moving to a
safe place in a fire situation.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
