After resting and rehydrating at rehabilitation, firefighters are typically reassigned to duties.

• A. Demoted
• B. Retired
• C. Reassigned
• D. Suspended

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is how rehab functions on the fireground. After a period of heavy exertion, firefighters rest and rehydrate to bring their body temperature, heart rate, and fluids back toward safe levels. Once they’re medically and physically ready, they’re reassigned to duties to continue supporting the incident. This keeps the crew moving and maintains safety and effectiveness without removing personnel from duty for punitive reasons. Demoted, retired, or suspended would imply disciplinary or permanent status changes, which rehab and reassignments aren’t about—rehab is about recovery and staying available for ongoing operations.
