It Means Use Caution - Tumblr Posts

So I spent a few a few hours mulling over how to explain this without going into too much detail… and well, as a child I had a lot of police scanners around. My close family consisted of a few firemen, first responders, an EMT, a paramedic, and a few others who also had jobs that required they have a scanner. So no matter who I was with, I heard the scanners—and the codes— all the time.

By the age of eight, I knew the different tones meant different districts in the county, and I knew to shut up and listen, because someone’s life was at stake. And so over the course of one summer, I decided to learn the codes. And boy, they really do come in handy every once in a while.

Though, I’m surprised the 10-0 code wasn’t on that list. It gets used quite often *shrugs*

HI BLEEEEEEEDINGGGGGGGGGG OMG YOU'RE BLEEDING OH NO *calls an ambulance*

Oh, its all good here, don’t worry :D

*Calls local dispatch*

“Yeah, it’s a 10-22 on the last ambulance call. 10-9, its a 10-22. Go ahead and 10-19.”
