Which code is used for Emergency Message?

• A. 11
• B. 15
• C. 16
• D. 18

Answer: (C)

In this signaling system, numeric codes are quick labels for different situations, so everyone knows what kind of message is being sent without lengthy wording. An Emergency Message is designated by the code 16, signaling immediate action and priority response from dispatch and arriving units. When you hear or see code 16, treat it as time-sensitive—confirm location, assemble essential details (what’s happening, hazards, number of people involved), and communicate updates to the dispatcher quickly. The other numbers correspond to different predefined conditions, so they don’t carry the same urgency as an Emergency Message.
