I worked in a set of high rise buildings (group of four buildings 14+ stories with interconnected ground levels) and saw several instances where fires broke out. The alarms were designed to clear the floor with the fire, along with the floor above and below. Then shortly more floors above. Evacuation was staggered and usually did not require the entire building be disturbed.
