The repeat what John alluded to: 13D is focused solely on life safety (although property protection typically comes along for the ride for MOST fires) as portrayed by the 10 minutes supply. 13R intends a longer duration of life safety and a small bump in property protection with the 30 minute supply and larger design area. IN looking at section 1.2.1 - Purpose for both documents, the term property protection is not in 13D but is in 13R.
