Intent 1:
To limit the probability that smoke and heat from
a fire in a storey adjacent to a floor opening will migrate into the
interconnected floor space and bypass sprinklers and smoke detectors
without actuating them, which could lead to:
- the fire not being controlled or suppressed, which could
lead to the spread of fire, 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
- emergency responders not being promptly notified of
the fire situation, which could lead to delays or inefficiencies 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.
