While setting up for a street fair, a food vendor places their cart and equipment directly in front of a Fire Department Connection (FDC) on the wall of an adjacent building. As the F-04 Fireguard, why must you immediately instruct the vendor to move their setup?
-
A
The FDC must remain clear to ensure Fire Department personnel can connect their hoses to the building's standpipe or sprinkler system in an emergency.
-
B
The vendor's cart creates a trip hazard for pedestrians walking near the building.
-
C
The FDC is a designated spot for fireguard personnel to stand during the event.
-
D
The heat from the vendor's cooking equipment could damage the FDC's metal components.
