does yonkers use different 10 codes, what is a 10-29 and a 10-30

[Guest DFFD227]

No, Yonkers Doesn't use County Codes, they have there own. 10-29 means structure fire, and 10-30 means Using All hands. When A Unit pulls up to a scene signaling a 10-29 10-30, the dispatcher sets off tones over the UHF frequency which notifies the safety officers, the arson investigator, Mask Service Unit, and if it goes into alarms, All the major bosses. I believe once a 10-30 is transmitted the dispatcher is suppose to send an additional engine , but was not the case last night. Here is a list of Codes YFD uses:
