What defines a "Target Hazard"?

A "Target Hazard" refers specifically to buildings or locations that have a high potential for issues during an emergency response, particularly those that may pose significant challenges for rescue operations. These structures often house a large number of occupants, hazardous materials, or activities that can lead to an increase in risk during an incident. As a result, they require careful pre-planning and special consideration by emergency services.

In contrast, the other options do not encompass this concept as clearly. Locations of frequent minor incidents generally do not present the same level of risk or complexity as target hazards. Areas with heavy foot traffic may attract attention during emergencies but do not inherently contribute to rescue difficulties. Similarly, historic buildings lacking fire safety measures could be hazardous, but they do not necessarily carry the same connotation of extensive rescue complications that would classify them specifically as target hazards in the context of emergency management. Thus, the definition of a "Target Hazard" aligns closely with the challenges presented in option B.
