Objective

OP1 Fire Protection of the Building

Attribution

Intent

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, 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 the spread of fire.

This is to limit the probability of damage to the building.
