Rescue Person - Extraction refers to which scenario?

• A. Removing a person from a dangerous environment using specialized equipment
• B. Providing first aid at the scene
• C. Evacuating a building with residents via stairs
• D. Conducting an area search

Answer: (A)

Extraction in Rescue Person means actively removing a person from a dangerous environment using specialized equipment. It’s about getting someone out of harm with gear like ropes, harnesses, pulleys, or other rescue tools, when simple egress isn’t safe or possible.

Providing first aid at the scene is about medical help, not removing the person from danger. Evacuating a building via stairs describes a general evacuation or safe exit, not the technical removal from a hazardous area. Conducting an area search focuses on locating victims, not extracting them. So the scenario best fitting extraction is removing a person from danger with specialized equipment.
