Which tactic involves rapid, prioritized protection preparations and may include applying foam to the structure before leaving?

• A. Check and Go
• B. Prep and Go
• C. Prep and Defend
• D. Tactical Patrol

Answer: (B)

Prep and Go centers on getting the house prepared quickly with the most important protection tasks, and then exiting the area. The emphasis is on speed and prioritization—doing what will most reduce ignition risk in a short window before you leave. Using foam on the structure is one of those rapid prep tools, applied to vulnerable surfaces to help suppress heat transfer and ember attack as you finish getting ready to depart. This approach is about enabling a safe exit while still giving the structure a defensive layer in that brief moment. This differs from other tactics: Prep and Defend means you stay to actively defend the home rather than leave; Check and Go focuses on a quick safety check before moving out; and Tactical Patrol is more about moving through the area to protect assets rather than performing rapid departure preparations.
