HazMat Incidents and 10-codes

[F117AN]

I’ve been looking at the Job’s 10-codes for a while, and the codes for HazMat incidents are elusive to me. I know of 10-86 and 10-87 for foam ops, but the 10-80 doesn’t have anything conclusive from what I can find. As of now, I believe it ranges from No-Code to Code 2, but I’ve found older sources indicating, no doubt from older variations or just someone bullshitting, up to Code 4.

What is the current and correct format, what goes out on each level of said format, and does the MDTF still go out on the higher level matrices with an additional MDTF s/c for every additional 250 PTs?

Correct, the 10-80 used to be either no code, code 1, code 2, code 3 or code 4.

The current 10-80 is either no code, code 1 or code 2.

No Code: An incident that can be handled by on-scene unit(s) and requires no additional resources.
Code 1: incident requiring a Haz-Mat response (Haz-Mat Trio - HM01, HMB01 & HMTU).
Code 2: A large-scale incident requiring numerous Haz-Mat resources.

I believe the MDTF (Mass Decon Task Force) would have to be special called, not normally assigned on a code 2.

I might be making a clown of myself, but this is the site that I pulled it from, and spawned my question given its thoroughness in description of responses: https://fdnyfloridaretirees.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FDNY-10-CODES.pdf

Thanks for answering, I’ll possibly ask more questions after reading your link.
