Response Codes

Code 1: At your convenience
Code 2: Urgent
Code 3: Emergency
Code 4: Everything is okay




Notes: Not all codes are used by all agencies, and there may be inconsistencies between this list and the meaning of the code when it is used.  For some time, Fire/Rescue/EMS procedures require the use of ’plain English’ rather than 10- and Signal-codes on their designated frequencies and talk groups.  So, instead of codes, which had clear, specific meanings, expect a wide, seemingly-unpoliced variation of terms for the same thing.
