• B.Provide aid to the injured person and protect the scene as much as practical
• C.Finish packing up so the site is tidy for investigators

Why

Helping the injured person comes before equipment, photographs, or cleanup. Preserving the scene as much as practical, without delaying aid, helps any later review understand what happened.
