Jobe codes and Lingo ...
Guys maybe if we could get everyone with a bit of info on the FESA to post it under this topic... Then sumone could make it into a printout maybe ? Let us kno what ya's think
4.4 no sign of fire investigating
6.6 fire sighted getting to work will then later call the alarm
1st alarm one brigade
2nd " " one other brigade
3rd " " most resources from area
4th " " really big need help from outside imedate area
8.8 GET THE HELL OUTTA tHERE............no............ just when its really big and they need immedeat assistance rarely hear this though

The FESA Fire Services SOP's actually have it written a little differently, ie:Arby wrote:44 = Not as reported / nothing found
66 = Minor incident
88 = Major incident
Nothing to do with back-up... One unit can deal with an 88 if it has the resources on board. The alarm classification determines units on site...
66 = Arrived, incident found can be handled with resources mobilised.
88 = Arrived, extensive incident requiring urgent assistance.
and it makes specific note that 88 needs to be followed up by an 'alarm classification' (in simple terms, each alarm = another station required).
for example, a message might be:
6AR from Malaga, 88 make 4th alarm.
(mind you, most people say 'arrived' which is superfluous, as its an arrival code you're giving!)
Once again, incorrect.. the SOP's do not state anything to do wtih backup.
(You might want to check the date on those SOP's you're quoting. )
I say again:
44 = Not as reported / nothing found
66 = As reported, Minor incident
88 = As reported, Major incident
Alarm classification is used to identify back-up.
