An FDC Sign, also known as a Fire Department Connection Sign, is a type of signage that indicates the location of a fire department connection on a building or property. Fire department connections are external fittings typically found on the exterior walls of buildings, and they provide a link between the building's fire protection system, such as fire sprinklers or standpipe systems, and the fire department's water supply.

FDC Signs play a vital role in facilitating effective firefighting operations by guiding firefighters to the fire department connection and providing essential information for establishing water supply connections. These signs are typically designed with high visibility, using bold lettering and contrasting colors to ensure they can be easily seen and understood, even in low-light or adverse conditions.
