The decon team is comprised of which station?

• A. Fire station 9
• B. Fire station 5
• C. Fire station 21
• D. Fire station 12

Answer: (C)

Decontamination operations are a specialized function that requires trained personnel and dedicated equipment to safely remove contaminants from people, gear, and the scene. The SOG assigns the Decon team to a specific station to ensure rapid, organized response and consistent staffing. In this department’s guidelines, the Decon team is based at Fire Station 21. That designation ensures the right resources—decon lines, PPE, wash stations, and disposal procedures—are ready for quick deployment when hazmat or contamination incidents occur. Other stations have different roles and would not be the primary Decon team under these guidelines.
