Air Alert 2 (Inflight emergency) dispatch includes which combination of units?

• A. Red 1, Red 2, Red 3, 2 Engines, 2 Medics
• B. Red 1, Red 2, Red 3, 1 Medic, 1 Battalion, 1 Safety
• C. 1 Engine or Aerial and 1 Medic
• D. 2 Medics, 1 Battalion, 1 Safety

Answer: (B)

Air Alert 2 inflight emergency calls for a well-rounded, multi-resource response that combines strong firefighting capability with medical care and solid incident management. The three Red units provide ample fire suppression and protection around the aircraft and any fuel hazards. Adding one medic ensures immediate medical assessment and treatment for anyone on board or affected by the incident. A Battalion Chief brings incident command, coordinating all units and communications, while a Safety Officer watches for hazards and keeps operations safe for both passengers and responders.

The other options fall short because they either lack sufficient firefighting resources, omit the formal incident command, or miss the safety oversight. For an inflight emergency, you want the combination that covers suppression, medical care, and leadership to manage the scene effectively.
