Does anyone know if changes have been made to 10-60 signal? As far as I know there was or still is signal 10-60, Plus 10-60 Codes 1 and 10-60 Code 2. 10-60 Code 2 being reserved for truly major emergencies where more units and equipment are need than for 10-60s Code 1.

No more 10-60 code 2
10-60 no code and code 1
 
Someone (a member of a Bklyn company) said that the signal 10-30 is still being used (because he heard a dispatcher use it.[?])
Is it -or isn't it?
It used to be a radio transmission indicating a "working fire" and assured a 2+2 response if there was less companies assigned. I was under the impression that signal was eliminated over 40 years ago.
 
So I'm about 50/50 sure its being used as an unofficial code per se, the Chiefs & the Dispatchers are probably just using it on an unofficial basis.

Also wasn't 10-30 All Hands & 10-75 was working fire or do I have those swapped?
 
10-30 & 10-75 were incorporated in the FDNY in 1970 after the inception of the failed "adaptive response" aka the 2-1 Signal .daily from 1500 to 2400 hrs ....a Single Source generated the response of two Six Man ENG's & one Seven Man LAD in the BX & Harlem 2.1 areas & one Six Man ENG & one Six Man LAD in the BKLYN 2.1 areas (Thanks john t.) .the 10-30 given by an arriving Unit brought a second LAD.....if the 10-75 was given the Response was now 3 ENG's & 2 LAD's. ... after the 10-30 was no longer used it was dormant for many years but more recently has been resurrected as an internal Signal inside the CO to Load Up The Box if it soundslike a job. ......currently only the 10-75 remains as a Radio Signal.
 
10-30 is used internally by dispatchers for loading up the box. Occasionally a dispatcher might say it over the air
