You are at a scene where you have already cleared twenty patients to the hospital. Although there are no more to your knowledge, there is a major fire taking place. What kind of incident are you at?
  1. One as any other
  2. Closed incident
  3. Open incident
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer - C - When you have already given care to patients, but there is an opportunity for more patients, such as a fire, you are at an open incident. In an “open” incident, such as a fire or hazardous materials leak, the potential for more patients is apparent. In a “closed” incident, the injuries have already occurred by the time you arrive at the scene.
