It used to be 10-26 = Working Fire

10-36 = 2nd Alarm

Not sure if they still use them.

10-75 Working Fire

10-26 All Hands

10-36 2nd Alarm

10-46 3rd Alarm

10-29 Food on the Stove

10-75 was deleted a few years back,the rest still stands.

That was always an interesting thing between FDMV and Yonkers: Their 10-26 was a structure fire and 10-29 was a food fire and ours were the opposite. I believe Yonkers based theirs on FDNY's which subsequently changed working fire to 10-75.

FDNY used to be 10-30 - Working fire.

10-26-Working Fire

10-36- 2nd alarm-? the 3rd due eng is assigned as the fast team ,usually on a working fire the IC will call for the 4th eng to be fast leaving 1 trk left in the city so mutual aid still comes in anyway.

10-46- HELP! lol

*haven't really been hearing the 10-36 or 10-46, IC calls what he can get.most of the time only 4 engines are in service with Res1 / Eng2 being 10-15 (out of service).
