Would someone please verify if these are the current crash/alert codes used at Seatac/BFI ?

ALERT 1 A plane in the air has minor electrical/mechanical problems. Units standby at fire station.
ALERT 2 A plane in the air has major electrical/mechanical problems. Units standby at runway.
ALERT 3 A plane has crashed at or near the airport.
ALERT 4 Hijacking, bomb threats or hazmat problems.

I've heard plenty of "Alert 2's" since my move to the area. I can only assume that the above are accurate, and in use across the nation. Not just here.
