FDC stands for what?

• A. Fire Department Connection
• B. Fire Department Control
• C. Fire Distribution Center
• D. Fire Damage Control

Answer: (A)

FDC stands for Fire Department Connection. This is the external point on a building’s sprinkler or standpipe system where firefighters connect their hoses to supply water, especially when the building’s internal water supply is inadequate or during a fire event. It’s typically a siamese fitting with multiple inlets (often 2.5 inches) and a drain, located on an exterior wall or near the fire access point, usually with caps that firefighters remove to connect hoses. The other terms aren’t used to name this hookup, as they don’t describe the external water connection used by the fire department.
