Question 20 • Principles of Fire and Rescue

Based on the following selection, which of the following might the officer leave out of a report because it includes an assumption? On December 3, 2012, a rescue truck was called to the scene of a vehicular collision. The driver realized that the rescue-truck brakes were not responding appropriately, and sent a radio message. The fleet mechanic then sent orders to return the truck to the fire station.

Answer
A
The who
B
The why
C
The when
D
The what

Explanation

The selection gives the date, the people involved, and what happened: the truck was called to a collision, its brakes did not respond properly, and the mechanic ordered it back. It does not establish why the collision occurred or why the brakes failed. Including a cause would require an assumption, so the officer might leave out “the why.”
