Based on your reading of the following, why would another sweep be ordered following the discovery of an unconscious person in a fire? The top priority at a fire emergency is to save lives , and if firefighters enter an enclosed area and find an unconscious person, the crew reports back the findings and the IAP may be adjusted to include another sweep of the building to locate and immediately remove other persons.
Answer
A
Firefighters cannot move forward in the action plan without all victims removed.
B
Victims may not be willing to call for help so the firefighters must visually search the area.
C
The firefighters cannot hear over radio traffic and must conduct a visual sweep instead.
D
If one person is found, others might also be trapped and unable to communicate.
Explanation
Finding an unconscious person suggests there may be other people in the building who are also trapped or unable to call for help. The crew can adjust the incident action plan to search for and remove them immediately. This supports choice D: if one person is found, others might also be trapped and unable to communicate.
