In large buildings, fire alarm boxes may not be more than what distance from each other?

The standard distance between fire alarm boxes in large buildings is 200 feet. This requirement is established to ensure that fire alarm boxes are placed within a reasonable distance from any location in the building where a fire emergency might occur. By limiting the distance to 200 feet, the aim is to make the fire alarm system easily accessible for anyone who may need to activate it in the event of a fire. This enhances the safety of occupants and contributes to a quicker response to fire incidents, ultimately helping to protect life and property.

Other distances, like 100, 150, or 250 feet, do not align with the established safety standards for accessibility and response time in emergency situations.
