• A. Lead the rescue
• B. Assist the technical rescuers by helping to set up rescue tools and equipment
• C. Coordinate with command
• D. Direct medical care

Answer: (B)

In a technical rescue, the FF II’s main duty is to support the technical rescuers by preparing and handling rescue tools and equipment, and helping to set up the systems they’ll use. This role ensures the rescuers have what they need quickly and safely—rigging anchors, ropes, lifts, stabilization devices, and other tools—so the technical team can focus on the actual extraction or stabilization work. Leading the rescue is the responsibility of the designated rescue team leader, coordinating with command is handled by the incident command structure, and directing medical care falls to EMS or the medical team. So assisting with tool setup and equipment is the best fit for a FF II in a technical rescue.
