A ALPHA ( BS CALL NON EMERGENCY ) DRIVING BALLS TO THE WALL IS UNCALLED FOR

B. BRAVO ( MORE SERIOUS )

C. CHARLIE ( REQUIRES A MEDICS RESPONSE IF AVAILABLE )

D. DELTA ( BALLS TO THE WALL BUT ALWAYS REMEMBER PUBLIC SAFETY IS # 1 )

E. ECHO................USUALLY A NON RESPONSIVE ...CPR...CPR INSTRUCTIONS BEING GIVEN....OR JUST PLAIN OLE, THEIR SCREWED.....

Equivalent to Dutchess' Priority System as well

Priority 4 = Alpha

Priority 3 = Bravo

Priority 2 = Charlie

Priority 1 = Delta/Echo

I do believe the Priority 1,2,3,4 is from national guidelines (someone correct me if I'm wrong) and of course judged by the info given from the caller.

Orange and Ulster use the Alpha system.
