emergency=fire_service_inlet can be used to tag a Fire Department Connection (FDC), also called a Building Hydrant Inlet or a Fire Service Inlet. See 
Wikipedia. The fire brigade can connect a pressurized water source to these inlets to aid firefighting efforts. Common types of inlets include Dry Riser Inlets and Fire Sprinkler Inlets.
How to map
Add a Node 
with emergency=fire_service_inlet. If you know the type of inlet, tag it with fire_mains=* and/or fire_sprinkler=*. See tables below.
Some inlet panels will have two connections, so it is possible to have fire_mains=* and fire_sprinkler=* on the same node. See example 5 below.

| fire_mains=dry | A Dry Riser Inlet ( Wikipedia) is a inlet to a network of pipes which are normally dry. The inlet splits into several pipes which lead to outlets on each level of the building. This avoids running hoses up the stairwell of tall buildings. In some countries this is considered an obsolete technology[1] and in other countries it is no longer allowed[2][3]. It is sometimes called a Dry Standpipe, although the term Standpipe has multiple meanings in firefighting.

| fire_mains=wet | A Wet Riser Inlet or Charged Riser[4] is similar to a Dry Riser, except that the pipes are permanently filled with water from a tank in the building or the city's water mains. The inlet allows the fire brigade to pump water into the system to supplement the normal water supply.[5][6] |

| fire_sprinkler=yes | A Fire Sprinkler Inlet is an inlet into a Fire sprinkler system. These systems are permanently connected to a tank with limited capacity. The fire brigade can pump water into this inlet to supplement the building's tank.

A Fire Sprinkler Inlet where the specific type of system is known. | |
Other sub-tags
- Couplings: Just like fire hydrants, it can be useful to add infomation about the coupling, such as couplings=*, couplings:type=*, and couplings:diameters=*.
- Position: It is assumed that hydrant inlets are attached to the wall by default. If not, you can add fire_service_inlet=* which has the same possible values as fire_hydrant:type=*.
- Substance: It is assumed that the inlet is for water. If not, you can add substance=*, for example foam.
Examples
emergency=fire_service_inlet + fire_mains=dry. "Dry Standpipe" is the American term for Dry Riser
emergency=fire_service_inlet. No subtag since the type of inlet is unclear
emergency=fire_service_inlet + fire_mains=wet + fire_sprinkler=yes. Two sub tags since this panel has two separate connection types. Alternatively, two separate
Nodes could be used.
