Identify the code for Fire - Highrise.

• A. 33HM
• B. 33I
• C. 34
• D. 35

Answer: (A)

In this coding system, incident types are shown with a numeric prefix plus a suffix that pinpoints the scene. For a fire at a high-rise, the standard combination is the number 33 with the suffix HM, which stands for Highrise. That makes 33HM the code that specifically communicates a high-rise fire, so it’s the best match for Fire - Highrise. The other options either omit the high-rise designation or use a different suffix or number that points to a different kind of incident, so they wouldn’t convey the same exact scenario. Remembering that 33HM signals a high-rise fire helps ensure rapid, precise radio communication and the correct deployment of resources.
