Where is a WUI placard posted?

• A. In a visible location at driveway or access point
• B. In the incident base camp
• C. On the incident command post
• D. In the fire engine cab

Answer: (C)

WUI hazard information must be accessible to all on-scene personnel, and the incident command post serves as the central hub for disseminating safety notices and tactical information. Posting the placard there guarantees visibility to everyone—incoming and on-scene crews, resources from multiple agencies, and leadership—so they can apply wildland-urban interface protection measures consistently. If it were posted at the driveway or access point, only those entering would see it and it could be missed by others; at the base camp it might not be in the line of sight for those arriving to the incident; in a fire engine cab it would only inform that vehicle's crew. Therefore, the incident command post is the most effective location.
