Can you break down what it means for ACFR in Alachua Co.?
I'll have to jump in one of the rescues next time I see them, because I know they keep a "cheat sheet" on the sun flap over the drivers side, so he can read it when he gets out of the truck.
I do know that the first part they say EMD#. That gives the CAD the type of call the actually found once they got on scene (since sometimes the dispatch is completely different). The numbers go up to at least 33 and stand for things like Chest Pain, Abdominal Pain, etc. I think one of them means "other" because I've heard something like "EMD99 toe pain" over the radio.
The second part just describes the patient with a letter and a number. The letter is either A, P, or C which stand for Adult, Pediatric or Canceled. The number following I believe stands for ALS, BLS or (in the case of cancelations) how they were canceled (canceled by fire crew, by dispatch, waiver obtained, etc.).
Also forgot to mention, they give the ending mileage as well.
If I can get some more details I'll post them. Hope that helps a little bit.
