In a Confirmed Residential Structure Fire (single family or duplex), how many Medics are assigned?

• A. 3
• B. 1
• C. 4
• D. 2

Answer: (D)

Two medics are assigned to a confirmed residential structure fire. This provides immediate on-scene medical coverage to treat potential injuries from smoke exposure, burns, or trauma, and to support firefighter safety with medical monitoring as needed. With two medics, one handles patient assessment and on-scene care while the other assists with monitoring, documentation, and preparing patients for transport. If the incident grows or more patients are found, additional medics can be added, but the standard assignment for a single-family or duplex is two.
