What must be provided when a fire department connection services multiple buildings?

When a fire department connection services multiple buildings, it is essential to have a sign indicating the buildings, structures, or locations served. This requirement ensures that firefighters can quickly and easily identify which buildings are connected to the fire department connection in an emergency situation. Clear signage allows for faster response times during a fire, as firefighters can efficiently direct their resources to the right location.

Providing this information is crucial because it reduces confusion and improves safety for both the responders and the occupants of the nearby buildings. Additionally, having clear identification of the serviced structures helps prevent delays that could occur if firefighters had to search for which buildings are served by the connection.

While other options may provide benefits, such as having a map for firefighters or a written agreement with the fire department, they do not directly facilitate immediate understanding and access, which the signage specifically addresses.
