After the first arriving unit reports 'situation stable', additional units shall continue response with which of the following?

• A. Turn off all warning devices
• B. Only lights, no sirens
• C. Proceed at posted speed
• D. Lights and sirens but shall not exceed the posted speed limit

Answer: (D)

Once the first arriving unit reports the scene is stable, additional units still need to approach with enough urgency to support the operation while staying safe and within traffic laws. Using lights and sirens helps clear intersections and alert other drivers, but they must not exceed the posted speed limit to minimize risk to responders and the public. This is why the best choice is to combine warning devices with adherence to the posted speed. Turning off all warning devices would reduce safety and visibility. Using only lights and no sirens reduces traffic clearance and situational awareness for drivers. Proceeding at the posted speed without any warning would increase the risk of collisions or delays from other motorists.
