Suppression apparatus assigned to which teams shall not be used as transfer companies?

• A. Hazardous materials team 7-21
• B. Hazardous materials team 7-21 and Special operations team 4-13
• C. Special operations team 4-13
• D. Both teams

Answer: (D)

Suppression apparatus tied to these teams stays dedicated to their specialized missions. HazMat units carry unique containment and decontamination gear and must be ready for hazardous materials incidents at a moment’s notice; using their apparatus as transfer vehicles could contaminate equipment, slow down decontamination, and reduce availability for a live incident. Special Ops units are configured for high-risk operations with specialized rigging, rescue tools, and mission-specific gear; repurposing their suppression apparatus as transfer vehicles would take away the exact tools and setup those teams rely on, potentially delaying critical tasks and risking equipment damage or misplacement. Because both teams depend on equipment that is tailored to their roles, their suppression apparatus should not be used as transfer vehicles.
