Which item is included in a scene size-up report?

• A. Hazardous materials status
• B. Unit identification
• C. Vehicle color
• D. Insurance provider

Answer: (B)

The scene size-up report focuses on establishing who and what is on scene so responders can coordinate quickly and maintain accountability. Recording unit identification—knowing which units are on the scene, who is in charge, and what their roles are—is essential for clear communication with dispatch, other agencies, and investigators, and it helps track who collected evidence or made observations.

Hazardous materials status is only included if there is a hazmat concern, not as a standard item on every size-up. Vehicle color and insurance provider aren’t core components of the on-scene size-up either; color can be noted for later identification but isn’t a standard field, and insurance details aren’t relevant to the immediate scene assessment.
