FYI, there has been a tweak to the New York City Fire Department 10-31 code, plus some new additions, as follows:
10-31 Assist Civilian All calls for assistance other than medical assignments, including a unit assigned to protect EMS by diverting or blocking traffic at a highway incident, good intention calls, calls handled by other agencies, any type of investigation, searches and complaints, and lock-outs. Chapter 4 Section 1.3 of the New York Fire Incident Reporting System (NYFIRS) lists incidents and situations codes. NOTE: The 10-31 signal shall not be utilized for any incident/emergency involving evaluation of structural stability, any operation involving a rescue or mitigation effort, or any type of hazardous condition.
10-42 Any Downed Tree Incident or Emergency Provide description to dispatcher and if Parks Department or electric utility is required.
10-43 Any non-fire related rescue; any person(s) rescued/removed from a dangerous situation NOTE: 10-43 is a disposition code, not a request for resources and shall not be transmitted in lieu of 10-60, 10-75 or other signals.

Code 1: Any fire in maritime environment (example: vessel, dock, pier)
