Based on the following, which of the following statements is most likely correct? A truck company’s size-up will be different from an engine company’s size-up. You may recall that a size-up is the process of collecting and evaluating information in order to identify all problems. When a truck company arrives on the scene, the information and problems they identify will clearly differ from an engine company’s because their mission and duties on the scene differ.
Answer
A
The truck company’s size-up will determine the amount of hose and water needed.
B
The engine company’s size-up will determine if the fire has spread.
C
The engine company’s size-up will be longer than the truck company’s size-up.
D
The truck company’s size-up will look for ventilation opportunities.
Explanation
A truck company’s duties commonly include locating opportunities for ventilation, so its size-up will assess where and how ventilation may be performed. Determining the amount of hose and water needed is more closely associated with an engine company’s size-up, making A incorrect. The passage says the companies’ size-ups differ because their missions differ; it does not establish that one size-up takes longer or that only the engine company checks whether fire has spread.
