Hello, all,
Can you educate me on these -
Questions about some characters I have seen appended to company numbers on the MDT display:
- If MDT shows "E021P E065P E008P E026P" what does the "P" indicate? _____?
- If MDT shows "T021F", what does the "F" indicate? Maybe FAST truck?
- If MDT shows "E253S" what does the "S" indicate? Maybe a staging coordinator function?
- If MDT shows "E040L" what does the "L" indicate? Maybe Lobby Command Post company?
- If MDT shows "E016C" what does the "C" indicate? Maybe CFR engine?
- If MDT shows "BC38S" what does the "S" indicate? Maybe Safety Chief?
- If MDT shows "BC28R" what does the "R" indicate? Maybe RUL?
- What other suffixes are used?
Questions about types of buildings (or maybe type of emergency?) on the MDT:
- It looks like "D=Private Dwelling" means, obviously, private dwelling.
- It looks like "E=Multiple Dwelling" means, obviously, an MD.
- It looks like "K=Other Public" means, obviously, a type of public building not otherwise categorized (e.g., Grand Central).
- Then there is "C=Other Commercial" which is somehow different from "K". Maybe like a private office building as opposed to a building open to the public?
- What does "R=" indicate?
- Maybe "V" indicates a medical emergency?
- Is "B" used for fire in a taxpayer type of store?
- What other letters are used in this type of emergency field?
Thanks,
Bill in Chicago
