Water Problem again requires which unit?

Water Problem again requires which unit?

• A. Engine
• B. Aerial
• C. Water Rescue Team
• D. Engine or Aerial

Answer: (D)

Water problems demand both water delivery and access to where the water or the victim is located. An engine brings the pump and hoses needed to supply water to the scene and put water on the fire or in the right place. An aerial provides the reach to access elevated areas or distance from the curb, allowing you to apply water from above or reach someone upstairs or on a roof. Because the situation can vary, either type can be the right choice depending on the specifics of the scene. A Water Rescue Team is specialized for certain swift-water or technical rescues and isn’t automatically required for every water problem.
