COLLAPSE RESCUE corresponds to which code?

• A. DIVE RESCUE RESPONSE
• B. ELECTRICAL CUTOFF
• C. COLLAPSE RESCUE
• D. CHIMNEY FIRE

Answer: (C)

Dispatch codes are organized by the incident type, so each code points responders to the exact kind of operation needed. When the situation involves a building or structure that has collapsed with potential victims, the code used is collapse rescue. This designation signals responders to focus on locating and safely extracting people from unstable debris, while implementing stabilization, shoring, and a careful perim to keep rescuers safe. It also typically brings in specialized teams for collapse scenarios.

The other options describe different situations: dive rescue is for water-based rescues, electrical cutoff means shutting off power to hazards, and chimney fire is a fire occurring in a chimney. None of these match a collapse scenario, so the code for collapse rescue is the correct choice.
