Question 4:
There are several possible removal options for ambulatory victims at an under river rail emergency. Which is not listed correctly?
A: Direct passengers to walk along the track to the nearest station. The decision to move passengers along the track to nearest station will be based on travel distance, patient condition, and the status of 3rd rail power.
B: Evacuating passengers via emergency exit stairs may be a viable choice, depending on depth of the shaft, stairway configuration, and smoke condition. However, emergency exit stairs may be difficult to climb and if a person stops climbing the stairs due to injury or fatigue, the evacuation may be delayed or brought to a standstill.
C: FD members attempting to descend a stairway must first allow civilians to evacuate. When two staircases are present, both shall always be used for evacuation.
D: A Rescue Train would take some time to put in operation. It would be useful to remove victims who are non-ambulatory, or too weak to evacuate on foot. CFR units and/or EMS personnel should initiate treatment onboard the rescue train, conditions permitting.
C Explanation:
When two staircases are present, designate an Evacuation Stairway and an Attack Stairway. In some cases, there is another set of emergency exits between the tube and the nearest station. These exits should be evaluated as an alternate or supplemental means of egress.
