Which of the following is true about a sign for a fire department connection?

• A. It should include location information
• B. It should include operation instructions
• C. It should include both location and operation information
• D. It should include the owner's name

Answer: (C)

Signage for a fire department connection should guide responders by clearly showing where the FDC is and how to operate it. In an emergency, firefighters need to locate the connection quickly and know which valves to open and in what order to deliver water into the standpipe system. Providing both location information and basic operation instructions ensures swift, correct use of the FDC and minimizes delays. The owner's name isn’t relevant to life safety or proper operation, so it isn’t needed on the sign.
