Ryan, Section 2006 IFC 903.3.7 says the "location of the fdc shall be approved by the fire code official". Rule of thumb in our region (Central Washington) by the AHJ's is 100'. Generally engine companies don't want to pull more that 100' of supply hose (usually 5" LDH) off the bed of the engine to supply the truck.
