Which incident type represents a plan for reduced response?

• A. Natural Gas Leak (Natural Gas & Propane)
• B. Rope / High Angle Rescue
• C. Remove Water
• D. Reduced Response (Plan B)

Answer: (D)

This question tests recognizing a predefined response plan within incident classifications. The correct option identifies a plan to scale back resources and urgency—Reduced Response (Plan B). In dispatch terms, this label signals that, under certain conditions, units will be sent with fewer resources or with less aggressive response, typically for lower-risk or non-emergency scenarios to conserve manpower and equipment.

The other options describe specific incident types that usually require standard or specialized responses—natural gas leaks demand caution and extra precautions, rope/high-angle rescue requires specialized equipment and teams, and removing water is a task-type incident. They don’t convey a plan to reduce the response, whereas Reduced Response (Plan B) explicitly represents that intentional downscaling of resources.
