Whose responsibility is the cleaning, maintenance and storage of the SAR system?

• A. Fire suppression division
• B. Logistics and supply
• C. Special Operations team
• D. Health and safety committee

Answer: (C)

Specialized rescue gear like the SAR system needs hands-on care from the team that routinely uses and deploys it. The Special Operations team is trained to inspect, clean, maintain, and properly store the SAR system so it stays ready for immediate needs. Cleaning removes debris and prevents deterioration, maintenance covers checks of hoses, seals, connectors, and power components, and correct storage protects sensitive parts and preserves readiness. Assigning this responsibility to the unit that operates the gear ensures clear accountability and proper handling, rather than delegating to the fire suppression division, logistics, or a safety committee whose roles are different.
