  • emergency responders not being promptly notified of a fire situation, which could lead to delays or ineffectiveness in carrying out fire emergency response operations, 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, which could lead to harm to persons.
