Does anyone know of where there may be a list of current radio codes used by the Henrico Fire/EMS? I’ve done a search on Google with no joy so far. Thanks!

Radio codes... Such as code 2/code 3? or "Radio, M306 is clear, with D63"?
Yes, exactly, thanks! I used to find them back in the day with the Radio Shack frequency guides, but so far I haven't found anything online.
Actually, your question was two part, wasn't it? I meant the former, not the latter, so: "We are Code 2 on the way to Parham"
Is Henrico/Richmond using the Medical Priority Dispatch System (MPDS) at all? Chesapeake Fire started using it this year. If you hear something like Alpha-Echo on medical runs, that's basically it.
Edit: Let me clarify that, If you hear Alpha-Echo in the dispatch and doesn't pertain to the address or a map book coordinate, then more than likely its MPDS in use.

They do. The City just started using it within the last year, Henrico uses it as well. Sounds like the OP just wants some clarification about the codes they use.
Code 2 means non emergent response, code 3 is an emergent response
Then D62, D63, etc. are just clear codes they use. I'm not sure what each of them mean, but more than likely, patient contact report, patient refusal, no patient contact, etc.

RAA has been using MPDS since at least 2010, the “Omega-Echo” was just dispatched as Priority 1- 3 previously.
D62: Dispatched Code 2, Responded Code 2
D63: Dispatched Code 3, Responded Code 3
D64: Dispatched Code 3, Downgraded Code 2
D65: Dispatched Code 2, Upgraded Code 3

Sorry, should've defined it more, by the city I meant DEC for law & fire, RAA has been using med for a while.
