I am not a responder but is there a 10 code that is used as a shortcut for "engine x taking time to decon, restock and document".

Seems like a lot of chatter for a routine notification.

Taking a guess at this,
It could possibly be 10-9? Then 10-8 when the Engine is back in service.
 
The 10-29 Signal was and I believe still is used when a FDNY Company is on an EMS run and will be operating for more than 1 Hour because CPR is being performed by the FDNY members of that unit. I used it once when I was the Captain of Engine 26 and we responded to a cardiac in a Health Club Gym. I member of Engine 26 drove the ambulance to the old Saint Vincent Hospital in the West Greenwich Village, so that both EMS Paramedics on the ambulance could stay in the back of the ambulance to treat the patient. We got her to Saint Vincent's alive, but I heard later she could not be saved. Not the proper use of the 10-29 signal, but we were out of service and out of our normal response area for well over 1 full hour. Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired

10-29 is currently the code for an elevator emergency. Code 1 occupied, code 2 unoccupied.
