Intent 1:
To limit the probability of delays in locating and
activating the switch controlling mechanical exhaust systems, which
could lead to the spread of smoke from an interconnected floor space
to floor areas in the building, which could lead to:
- delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a
safe place, which could lead to harm to persons, including emergency
responders, and
- delays or inefficiencies in fire suppression operations,
which could lead to the spread of fire, which could lead to harm to
persons, including emergency responders.
