What action does the 10th Arriving Engine Company perform on the Second Alarm?

Explanation:
On a second alarm, units check in with the Incident Commander to learn their assigned role and then proceed to the designated location ready to respond. The 10th arriving engine is expected to contact the IC to obtain an assignment and report to the Lobby with the appropriate equipment so the IC can direct them to a specific task—such as backup line, water supply, or assist with ventilation—without duplicating efforts or stepping into an area without coordination. This coordinated check-in ensures accountability and rapid, organized deployment. The other actions require prior assignment or are tasks the IC would direct after the check-in process.
