These are the all stations dispatched by the Fire Alarm Office:

Hey 911, I hope you don’t mind but I copied your chart at the bottom of my list of LV CC fire stations. Thanks for sharing that.

Also, is there anyplace I can find lists of “post” locations and maps of zones worked by Community, Southwest, and AMR ambulance companies? Radio codes are mostly self explanatory but a listing of those might be helpful also.

Thanks from a retired metro guy and avid scanner buff who has become addicted to fire & EMS now that metro has encrypted.

Oh boy. "Southwest" brings me back. The company is now MedicWest and had been for a couple decades. They are also owned by AMR. I stepped off the bus years ago but from what I understand Community Ambulance has been working diligently and has been given a larger piece of the pie as Medicwest had focused on Northtown and the "east side" of Vegas. Medicwest now has a contract with NLVFD and has an entire fleet of units dedicated to operate only within the borders of North Las Vegas, and are now dispatched by NLVFD Fire dispatch usually with a 10XX or 11XX prefix, i.e. ILS 1153. Wish I had kept my zone and post maps but they would be severely outdated anyway.

I’ve been retired almost 10 years and did my final 3 in Laughlin so I’m severely outdated as well! Thanks much for the reply.

Does anybody have a list of CCFD radio codes? I’m particular the alpha bravo delta definitions for medical responses.

I don't know if there are any distinctions between CCFD, but where I am in Lawton, Oklahoma, these are the codes and their definitions:
  • "E" (Echo) Response: Life-Threatening Emergency - patient not breathing (choking, hanging, drowning), person trapped in sinking vehicle, active assailant, officer needs assistance
  • "D" (Delta) Response: Life-Threatening Emergency - Chest pain, difficulty breathing, unconsciousness, seizures, dangerous bleeding, structure fire, serious vehicle crashes, domestic disturbance
  • "C" (Charlie) Response: Potentially Life-Threatening Emergency - Difficulty breathing, non-responsive, stroke, substance overdose, diabetic problems, serious injury, fire alarms, wires down, fuel spill, suspicious person
  • "B" (Bravo) Response: Unknown Situation, Serious bleeding/injury, pregnancy, psychiatric problems, outside gas leak, lightning strike, small outside fire, delayed report law calls
  • "A" (Alpha) Response: Non-life-threatening situation with a likely potential for patient transport, citizen assist calls
  • "O" (Omega) Response: These are calls for such things as accidental poisonings, which may be referred to other agencies, like Poison Control

Thanks much, that helps and sounds pretty accurate from what I’m hearing. CCFD breaks them down further such as a 9 Delta.
Thanks again.

Yes, and you will hear 9 Echo which is cardiac arrest. Didnt work for the FD but worked some years in the Vegas EMS system and what was provided above is the standard across the board in Clark County.

Most Fire/EMS & hospitals in the USA follow the 'Medical Priority Dispatch System' for standardization/interop purposes. You'll get lots of hits if you Google that term, but here's one that lists the brevity codes:


Due to the frequency in which they occur along the tourist corridor hotels & the desire by local politicians & the LVCVA to minimize publicity over the events, Las Vegas area Fire/EMS & Hospitals added a special dispatch brevity code for "Male patient, found unconscious in ice-filled hotel room bathtub, with heart, kidneys & lungs surgically removed."
