Which Incident Type requires one or two single resources with up to six personnel?

A. Type 2

B. Type 3

C. Type 4

D. Type 5

Answer

Type 5 Incident.

A single incident resource with up to six people can handle the situation. Command and general staff jobs (except for the incident commander) are not activated. A written Incident Action Plan is not required. The incident is confined to the first operational period, generally within an hour or two after resources arrive on site. A vehicle fire, a wounded individual, or a police traffic stop are examples of situations that might be handled by one or two single resources with up to six personnel.
