Firefighter oral exam question/answer
You respond to a house fire and during the initial entry and search you notice a twenty dollar bill on a dresser drawer in the master bedroom. Later you discover the money is gone and you know for a fact only you and your captain were the only two persons who entered that room.
My answer;
I would ask the captain if he secured the money that was on the master bedroom dresser. If he said yes then I would know that he knows I am aware the money was there. I would have to assume he really did secure it.
--While this answer does not cover all the ethical or legal questions that come to mind I was told my answer was "close enough".
