If CFD forces the door and the owner is not home and there are no occupants on the scene, which agency should be called?

Public Works FD CPD EMS

Correct Answer:

CPD

Explanation:

When firefighters force entry and there’s no one at the scene, the situation goes beyond a routine emergency into a potential crime scene and safety concern. The priority becomes scene security, accountability, and investigation. The appropriate agency to bring in is the police department, because officers will secure the premises, determine occupancy status, preserve any evidence, and coordinate with the fire crew on any medical or fire-safety needs. Public Works isn’t involved in emergency response or crime-scene management, and EMS is needed only if there’s a medical issue. The fire department handles suppression and rescue, but securing the scene and conducting or initiating a criminal investigation fall under police responsibility.
