What is a requirement for systems protecting each hazard?

For systems protecting each hazard, the requirement that they must be connected for simultaneous operation is critical to ensuring effective fire suppression. This connection allows multiple systems to work together cohesively, providing a comprehensive response to a fire event affecting various areas or hazards simultaneously. When systems are interconnected, the likelihood of effectively extinguishing a fire increases, as they can coordinate their discharge and respond to the evolving situation more efficiently.

The interconnection of systems aligns with the goals of fire safety by maximizing the coverage and effectiveness of the fire suppression measures in place. This ensures that, in the event of a fire, multiple systems can work in unison to extinguish flames, thus minimizing potential damage and enhancing safety for occupants.
