Columbia Medical Response Codes

[K0JWW]

I noticed Columbia Fire/EMS Dispatch uses codes to classify the medical response (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta). I was wondering if anyone here knew them. I'm from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I often travel to Columbia because my girlfriend lives there. Here, they classify them as hot or cold responses. Also known as routine or emergency responses. As for me, I'm a ham (WB0CID) and ex-college security officer/dispatcher. I participate in Linn County, Iowa ARES as a net control operator. One of my hobbies is scanning. I have an HP-1, BCD396T and XT and BCD996T. I also provide the Cedar Rapids Police Scanner Feed on RadioReference as well. I may move to Columbia at some point. My significant other's career is in the medical field. She's got a pretty good career down there, so I may post on the Missouri Forums more as I have more questions.
