During Phase II fireman's service, which statement is correct?

• A. A designated elevator operator controls the elevator during Phase II.
• B. The elevator can be controlled by any trained technician.
• C. The elevator must be turned off during Phase II.
• D. The elevator operator is the only person that could control the elevator.

Answer: (D)

During Phase II fireman’s service, the elevator is under the control of a designated operator—the firefighter trained to operate the elevator in this mode. This setup ensures that only someone with the proper training and authority handles the car, coordinating moves for rescue, hoseline placement, and equipment transport. The system is not turned off, and control isn’t handed to any arbitrary technician or multiple operators; it’s reserved for the authorized elevator operator to prevent untrained use and maintain safety during fire-fighting operations.
