Which Structure Defense Tactical Action is defined as a rapid evaluation to check for occupants requiring removal or rescue?

• A. Check and Go
• B. Prep and Go
• C. Prep and Defend
• D. Tactical Patrol

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is rapid occupant safety assessment and removal. Check and Go is defined as a quick evaluation to determine if occupants inside a structure require removal or rescue, prioritizing life safety. This approach is used when responders need to quickly identify people who cannot evacuate on their own and initiate their removal if it can be done without exposing crews to undue risk. It’s about a fast, focused check for occupants before shifting emphasis to other actions. Prep and Go focuses on getting ready to move, not specifically on checking occupants. Prep and Defend is about preparing to defend the structure rather than rescuing occupants. Tactical Patrol is about area reconnaissance and hazard identification, not the targeted occupant extraction this action emphasizes.
