▶ Show Answer & Explanation
✓ C. Correct. Per S2.OP-AB.FIRE-0001 Attachment 1, Step 3 Caution, if the Fire Department requests the control room to obtain off-site firefighting assistance, permission should be obtained from EDO/SM prior to calling for off-site assistance.
✗ A. Plausible because Security does have to authorize vehicles on-site, however, the procedure specifically states that the Shift Manager (SM) position is required to request for off-site assistance.
✗ B. Plausible because the CRS would be performing the procedure and you would believe the CRS would authorize this action, however, the procedure specifically states that the SM position is required to request for off-site assistance.
✗ D. Plausible because the SRO may believe that the Fire Department Superintendent position is required to request for off-site assistance.
