Which piece of equipment is designed for multi-function rescue tasks including cutting and spreading?

• A. Portable Electric All Purpose Rescue Set
• B. Desmoking kit
• C. Naval Firefighting Thermal Imager
• D. SCBA

Answer: (A)

The key idea is identifying equipment that can perform multiple rescue actions, specifically cutting through obstacles and spreading to open a path for freeing a casualty. A portable electric all-purpose rescue set is designed for that exact range of tasks, providing tools that can cut through obstructions and spread gaps to access or free trapped individuals, all in a compact, portable package.

The other options serve different roles: a desmoking kit is for clearing smoke and improving visibility, a naval firefighting thermal imager helps locate heat sources or people by heat signatures but doesn’t physically cut or spread materials, and an SCBA offers breathable air but does not perform cutting or prying actions.
