Which incident type is Remove Water?

• A. Rope / High Angle Rescue
• B. Natural Gas Odor (Natural Gas or Propane)
• C. Other Fire
• D. Remove Water

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is understanding how dispatch codes categorize the type of service requested, not just the incident itself. Remove Water is the label used when firefighters are sent to remove water from a building or area—such as after a flood, a burst pipe, or water left behind from firefighting activities. It’s a specific dewatering or water-removal service.

This fits best because the call is about removing water, a cleanup task, rather than performing a rescue, dealing with a gas odor, or fighting a fire. Rope / High Angle Rescue is for rescuing people from heights or difficult vertical spaces, which isn’t about water removal. Natural Gas Odor is about detecting and mitigating a gas leak, which is a different hazard requiring gas utility involvement. Other Fire would refer to a fire incident itself, not a dewatering operation.
