A riot has broken out in the middle of the city. The dispatcher has been told that there are at least 10,000 people involved and no one really knows what started the riot. You must help those that are injured, but the situation is dangerous. How do you aid those in need?
  1. Ignore the injured; they got themselves hurt.
  2. Don’t offer aid until the riot ends.
  3. Gather the injured with police assistance.
  4. Join the riot.
Explanation
Answer: C - When there is a riot or any type of situation in which there are many people involved, gather the injured with police assistance. A secure triage area can be established at the direction of law enforcement, and staged units can transport those in need of advanced medical care. When the environment is hostile, do your best to get you and your patient to safety.
