Photos Cambridge, MA - What are these signs?
What do the circled signs mean? I know FDC is the fire department connection. The sign under that is max pump in pressure.
Someone said it means you guys aren't supposed to enter the building to fight a fire. If that's the case, doesn't it completely defeat the purpose of the FDC and standpipe being live?

We have these signs in New York. We would call this a "Type-Red Vacant", which means do not enter unless obvious immediate life threat.
