18) As you are conducting the search with Ladder 7 for the missing member you are
remembering the items that the Fire Sector Supervisor told you. Please choose an incorrect
action the Fire Sector Supervisor told you to take, because it has been bothering you since you
left the Fire Sector? (MMID, chapter 3, section 7)

A) The air supply of the member needs to be assessed whether the member is conscious or
unconscious.
B) Once the member is located, a FAST Pak must be called for immediately when the member
does not have air, if a member has air the FAST Pak is called for at the discretion of the Fast
Unit Officer.
C) The high pressure air system permits emergency air replenishment of an SCBA from an air
supply source while still in use through the Universal Air Coupling (UAC).
D) The UAC is for emergency use only when a member is low or out of air within an IDLH. If
the condition of the distressed member’s SCBA is in doubt DO NOT provide air via the high
pressure system.

Answer 18

18. B

7.2 Once the member is located, a FAST Pak must be called for immediately, regardless of
whether the member has air or not. Every emergency situation is unique. The rescuer
must be trained to assess each situation and decide which re-supply method via the FAST
Pak is best. This decision can vary depending on several factors:
 Condition of the distressed member’s SCBA.
 Position of the distressed member.
 Accessibility for the various air supply methods.
