Which of the following is an example of a scene control activity?

• A. Providing hot meals
• B. Decontaminating patients
• C. Establishing perimeters
• D. Filing reports

Answer: (C)

Scene control is about securing the incident area, setting boundaries, and limiting access to keep people safe and the operation orderly. Establishing perimeters achieves that by creating a defined boundary around the scene, controlling who can enter, and preventing the spread of hazards or interference with responders. The other actions fall into different functions: providing hot meals is welfare support for evacuees, decontaminating patients is a medical/response task, and filing reports is administrative documentation. They don’t establish scene boundaries or regulate access.
