Simply put, because it is required under various building legislation and saves lives. There is a legal and moral obligation.
In many countries, including Australia, any electronically locked door in the emergency exit path must automatically unlock in the event of a fire alarm anywhere in the building. (Check your local building code and legislation)
Automatic fire trip release is a key function of the Jack Fuse power Port PP8 modules.
In addition many clients will insist that all their electronically locked doors must release on a fire alarm, whether this required under law or not. It is just better to be safe rather than sorry.
Often a new building will not be occupied until the local fire authority has inspected and signed off on fire regulations including fire trip release.
