An adequate response to a TRI from an agency that has its own technical rescue team would include the team, an engine company, a chief, and:

• A. A medic unit
• B. A helicopter crew
• C. A rehab unit
• D. A utility crew

Answer: (A)

Medical care on the scene is essential in a technical rescue, so the response team includes a medic unit to provide on-scene treatment, triage, and coordination with transport. The technical rescue team handles the complex rescue work, the engine company supports access and water or force options, and the chief provides incident command. While a helicopter crew, rehab unit, or utility crew can be needed in specific situations, they are not part of the standard minimum package for this type of response. The medic unit ensures victims and rescuers receive timely medical care and facilitates transfer to definitive care.
