Not with any semblance of self-preservation. And let's face it, with warehouses past 40' now, is 40' enough? Yes, since those are usually suppression mode ESFR.

But what would be the reasoning behind FDCs? If you are pumping water into an FDC and the building collapses from the fire, isn't it time to get out the hotdogs and call CNN? You might lose the hose, but are there personnel standing by the FDC when pumping?
