Statement

Employ fire detection systems that activate automatically and notify {{ insert: param, pe-13.01_odp.01 }} and {{ insert: param, pe-13.01_odp.02 }} in the event of a fire.

Notification mechanisms may require independent energy sources to ensure that the notification capability is not adversely affected by the fire.
