Department Mission: Doing More with Less

Question 3 • Principles of Fire and Rescue

Based on the following, which provides opportunities for adjacent fire departments to work together? In 2012, the number of fire incidents that fire departments responded to in their areas was one million three hundred seventy-five thousand. The number of mutual aid or assistance calls were one million three hundred twenty-six thousand five hundred. This indicates that for every fire incident that a fire department responds to, they are likely to respond to a mutual aid or assistance call next. Therefore, fire departments must work hard to instill camaraderie and collaboration among the neighboring departments so that everyone has confidence that in times of crisis they can depend on each other’s resources.

Answer
A
competition
B
teamwork
