Which incident type would be used for removing water?

• A. Remove Water
• B. Other Service
• C. Private / Telephone Alarm
• D. Smoke in the Area - Outdoors

Answer: (A)

Focusing on dewatering the scene, the incident type Remove Water is specifically designed for situations where water needs to be extracted from a location to restore safety or accessibility. It signals that the primary response will involve dewatering equipment and personnel, guiding crews to bring pumps, hoses, and related tools to the scene. Other options don’t fit because they imply different tasks: Non-emergency assistance or errands, alarm system events, or smoke-related hazards, none of which reflect the need to remove water. Using Remove Water ensures the incident is categorized correctly and resources are aligned with the actual goal of eliminating the water hazard.
