What units are dispatched for a standard water rescue?

The correct response involves dispatching the closest engine, the closest truck, and two closest rescue squads equipped with boats for a standard water rescue. This approach is effective because water rescue situations often require specialized equipment and personnel, including boats and trained rescue teams, to ensure the safety of both the victims and the responders.

A fire engine and a medical unit alone would not provide the necessary resources for a water rescue, as they typically do not carry the appropriate water rescue equipment. Similarly, relying solely on a medical unit and an EMS Supervisor would not address the immediate need for equipped personnel to rescue individuals from the water. Dispatching two fire engines and a HazMat unit is also not relevant to standard water rescue operations, as HazMat teams are focused on handling hazardous materials rather than performing water rescues. Thus, the correct response ensures that the responding units have the necessary tools and training to effectively manage a water rescue scenario.
