Which combination of roles is included in the Support Group?

• A. Primary Engine, Secondary Engine, Rehab/Medical, Staging/Air Supply
• B. Attack Instructor, Back-Up Line, RIC, Entry Officer
• C. Incident Commander, Safety Officer
• D. RIC, Entry Officer, Rehab/Medical

Answer: (A)

The main concept tested is which roles are grouped under the Support Group in NFPA 1403. The Support Group is the logistics arm that backs up the Attack Group, providing the water supply, air management, staging control, and firefighter rehab. Having two engine resources ensures a steady water supply and backup for the attack line, while Rehab/Medical attends to firefighter rest and health. Staging/Air Supply manages incoming units and the handling of air cylinders so crews can rotate safely. This combination—two engines plus Rehab/Medical and Staging/Air Supply—fits that logistical, support role. The other options mix roles from attack, rescue, or command functions and omit essential support elements like staging and air supply, so they don’t represent the defined Support Group.
