The waterflow device shall be connected to an alarm system in such a manner that operation of one sprinkler will actuate the alarm sjs- tem, and the location of the operated flow device shall be indicated on anannunciatorand /or register.

A notification zone is the smallest discrete area used for any announcements or signaling. De- pending on the emergency response plan, a signaling zone can encompass several notification zones. For example, in ‘most high MMIII, each single floor (fire area) isa not fication zone. Most emergency response plans call for the sig- naling zone to be the fire floor, floor above, and a floor below. 21.4.2 High Rise Buildings. 214.2.1 All high-rise buildings shall be provided with a rea sonable degree of safety from fire, and such degree of safety shall be accomplished by one of the following means: (1) Installation of a complete, approved, supervised auto- matic sprinkler system in accordance with 9.7.1.1 (1). (2) Installation of an engincered life safety system complying with all of the following: (a) The engineered life safety system shall be developed. by a registered professional engineer experienced in fire and life safety systems design. (b) The life safety system shall be approved by the author ity having jurisdiction and shall be permitted to in- ude any or all of the following systems: i. Partial automatic sprinkler protection ii. Smoke detection alarms iii, Smoke control iv. Compartmentation v. Other approved systems. 28.5.3.2* In high-4i8ebitildings, one elevator shall be provided with a protected power supply and shall be available for use by the fire department in case of emergency. 32.33.9.2 In High Rise)Buildifigs. Class | standpipe systems shall be installed throughout all high-rise buildings. 32.3.6.3.2* In high #8e)buildings, one elevator shall be pro- vided with a protected power supply and shall be available for use by the fire department in case of emergency.In larger buildings, especially high S@BUHRABS, it is recom- mended that all evacuations — whether partial or total — be managed to sequence or control the order in which certain occu- pants are evacuated from their origin areas and to make use of available means of egress. In high-rise buildings, the exit stair, at any level, are designed to accommodate the egress flow of only a very sinall portion of the occupants — from only one or a few stories, and within a relatively short time period — on the order ‘ofa few minutes. In case of a fire, only the immediately affected floor(s) should be given priority use of the means of egress sery- ing thatfloor(s). Other floors should then be given priority use of the means of egress, depending on the anticipated spread of the fire and its combustion products and for the purpose of clearing certain floors to facilitate eventual fire service operations. Typ cally, this means that the one or two floors above and below a fire floor will have secondary priority immediately after the fire floor. Depending on where combustion products move — for ex- ample, upward through a building with cool-weather stack effect — the next priority floors will be the uppermost occupied floors in the buildin; In high-18@)biIARGs, in towers, or in deep underground spaces where travel over considerable vertical distance on stairs can cause persons incapable of such physical effort to collapse before they reach the street exit, stairwaysare permit- ted to be used for initial escape from the immediate area of danger, and elevators are permitted to be used to complete the travel to the street. A.3.3.24 High-RIS@IBGIGHG. It is the intent of this definition that, in determining the level from which the highest oceupi- able floor is to be measured, the enforcing agency should ex- ercise reasonable judgment, including consideration of over- all accessibility to the building by fire department personnel and vehicular equipment. Where a building is situated on a sloping terrain and there is building access on more than one level, the enforcing agency might select the level that provides the most logical and adequate fire department access.
