EMS will be set up in which zone during a HazMat incident?
A . Hot zone
B . Warm zone
C . Luke warm zone
D . Cold zone

Answer: D

Explanation:

The EMS crew is not protected with the appropriate personal protective gear to operate in the hot or warm zones. Patients must be decontaminated thoroughly prior to the EMS sector taking over care of the patient. There are not exceptions here, the potential of exposure to the hazardous material is too great.
