Which of the following is NOT a tactical objective/company function?

Patient care is primarily a function related to emergency medical services rather than a direct tactical objective within the scope of firefighting operations. Tactical objectives are specific tasks that fire companies perform to mitigate fire situations and protect life and property. Functions such as primary search, forcible entry, and water on fire are directly related to tactical firefighting operations.

1. Primary Search involves locating and rescuing victims in a structure on fire, aligning with the tactical objective of protecting lives.

2. Forcible Entry is crucial for gaining access to a structure during an emergency, enabling firefighters to apply water or conduct rescues effectively.

3. Water on fire refers to the application of water to extinguish a fire, which is a core function of firefighting that directly addresses the immediate emergency.

While patient care is essential to the overall response in emergency situations, it does not fall under the typical tactical objectives that firefighters execute when directly tackling a fire incident.
