F-89 Emergency Action Plan (EAPD) / Fire Safety Director (FSD) Practice Exam

Which action is NOT part of the EAPD's responsibilities?

1. Training fire safety personnel

2. Engaging in tactical firefighting

3. Coordinating emergency drills

4. Conducting evacuation procedures

The correct answer is: Engaging in tactical firefighting

The action that is not part of the Emergency Action Plan Director's (EAPD) responsibilities is engaging in tactical firefighting. The primary role of the EAPD focuses on the overall emergency management and preparedness aspects, such as training fire safety personnel, coordinating emergency drills, and conducting evacuation procedures. In contrast, tactical firefighting is typically carried out by trained firefighters who are equipped and prepared to handle fire suppression and emergency response operations on the ground. This includes battling fires, rescuing individuals, and conducting operations in a hazardous environment. The EAPD plays a more strategic and administrative role, ensuring that appropriate protocols are in place and that all personnel are trained to respond effectively in emergencies. Hence, engaging in tactical firefighting falls outside the scope of the EAPD's responsibilities.
