  7. An updated list: http://www.thebravest.com/fdny/FDNY10Codes.htm
  8. Thanks for the info guys. It seems that more and more departments are switching over the plain english these days, and in agreement with Bnechis, plain english can be just as confusing as 10-codes or signals. A plus for 10-codes is that each code means one specific thing, or if it needs to be more specific, 10-codes, such as the FDNY's, can have sub-codes(i.e., a 10-25(FDNY) means a manhole or transformer vault fire, however a 10-25-Code 1 means that the fire has extended to the exposure building). So, basically, both 10-codes and plain english have their pros and cons. From what I gather, here are some 10-codes used in Westchester. Some many be a little off, and more than the departments listed may use each 10-code. 10-4(Affirmitive/Message Received) - Used by many county FD's. 10-8(In Service) - New Rochelle and Mount Vernon FD's. 10-20(Non-Emergency Priority Response) - New Rochelle FD. 10-22(Structure Fire/Working Fire) - Designated County Code. 10-26(Working Fire) - Mount Vernon FD. 10-29(Working Fire) - Yonkers FD. 10-30(All-Hands) - Yonkers FD. 10-75(Working Fire) - Used by many county FD's. 10-84(Arrival at the Box/Incident) - Yonkers and Mount Vernon FD's.
