Guys, this may be a dumb question, but I am sure there are others that want to know the answer to this question.

Following yesterday's Toxic Chemical Spill where cars where given Priority One to get there....my question is;

What is the difference with Priority One and Priority Two in the above example - A Chemical Spill - Does a Priority One allow the car to go faster than Priority Two to get to the scene????

I would greatly appreciate everyone's response into this...

Thanks Jmmw - I appreciate your response...

I do understand - I mean VKI was asking for any VF/VR and or VP vehicles with Priority One Class driver for the initial response to the Toxic Chemical Spill yesterday...so thanks again

While we are on the topic of priority codes - any chance someone could list the new codes somewhere? The ones we have are quite outdated and there are quite a few missing. Pretty sure someone has already asked, but not sure if it's going to happen?? I would do it myself but I'm not 'in the know' of all the codes

You've hit the nail on the head In order to post an updated list, we need updated information...

I am hoping others with jump in and add in the corrections to this list

Thanks Mr G.... Here's to new knowledge

The last two digits define the task. The first defines the Priority.

Mr G , your 251's (vehicle pursuit) don't exsist anymore, they are now 126.

Thanks Walks for correcting me on that one - any others, please post them up here and hopefully someone will volunteer to create a revised list.

I will give it a go Mr G ... so if anyone has anything to add post it here or PM me and I will organise a spreadsheet and edit as required.... need something to keep me occupied as I had an MVA 3 weeks ago (minor injury) but now am housebound, off work and need amusement

Dear Chicky,
Sorry to hear about your minor MVA - and do wish you a speedy recovery - and thankyou for stepping up to the challenge to help us out - No doubt we will have more people to let us know the correct job codes as they stand at the present time...

Take care
George
