Division Operations 4 Practice Test

Rehab is the place where responders rest, rehydrate, and receive medical evaluation before returning to duty. In a high-rise incident, you want Rehab to be out of the active hazard yet close enough to support the crews and the flow of resources. Staging Rehab at least two floors below the fire floor achieves that balance: it keeps people away from heat, smoke, and hazards on the fire floor, provides a safer, controlled environment for recovery, and sits near the Resource Group that handles equipment and personnel flow so rotations and resupply are efficient. Placing Rehab on the same floor as the fire would keep it in the danger zone; two floors above the fire could still be in or near the affected area and hinder access to resources; putting Rehab in the lobby near the command post may be too exposed, congested, or distant from the resources and medical support needed.
