23 Omega One, 15 alpha One ?

[flyingwolf]

Ok I hear it daily, each time a cal goes out overthe local fire freq (33.940, Batavia Ohio) they will call out with a 23 omega one, or alpha 1 or something along those lines, not always the same, though some days they are.

Any idea as to what these are?

Or rather what they mean.

I do assume it wil be for my area only, but what is it to begin with?

Sounds like it is the Medical code for the type of call. I know in this area (salt lake county) there are codes from 1-32 and then add to it alpha-echo for the severety of the response.

Example: 29-Delta is a Auto accident requiring Bls, Als, Ambulance, Recue all to run code 3.

Thank you Mike.

Those codes seem to follow pretty much dead on here.

many thanks...my neighboring county's ems just switched to these....however they say priority 1-3 before signal so it sounds redundant
