Generally, you'll find firefighters and apparatus near the FDC during an operation , so I'm guessing it's that pesky firefighter safety thing.

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?
