We received a letter from a local fire official saying they've seen a significant increase in theft of FDC's. It's no longer just the brass plugs, but now it's the female swivel - making the FDC non-functional.
Some potential solutions that have been offered include: * Using a bit of JB Weld on the set screw that holds the swivel in place * Drilling out the top of the same set screw * Replacing standard FDC's w/Storz * Installing locking covers (such as Knox #3041) * Electrifying the FDC and instructing fire fighters to wear insulating gloves (not really) Anybody got any other ideas?
