In which zone would the command post and logistics area be located during a vehicle extrication incident?

The command post and logistics area during a vehicle extrication incident should be located in the cold support zone. This zone is designated as a safe area where personnel can operate without the immediate hazards present in more dangerous areas, such as the hot restricted zone where the actual extrication takes place. The cold support zone is crucial for ensuring that command operations can be conducted effectively, allowing for coordination and logistical support without exposure to risks associated with the incident. It accommodates necessary resources and personnel while maintaining a safe distance from the hazards, ensuring both operational efficiency and safety.

In contrast, the logistics zone is often more focused on resource allocation and support but does not specifically serve the command function. The hot restricted zone is where the most hazardous activities occur, making it unsuitable for establishing command and logistics operations. The term "support zone" may also refer to areas that provide aid but lacks the defined safety protocols that the cold support zone offers.
