A call reports a Train Accident; which code should be used?

• A. FTRE
• B. FTRA
• C. FTRN
• D. FSMO

Answer: (B)

In this coding scheme, trains are handled under Fire Transportation codes, and the exact event is shown by the ending letters. For a Train Accident, the code ends with TRA, so the correct choice is the one that corresponds to that Train Accident designation. The other variants imply different train-related situations and do not specifically denote an accident, so they aren’t used for a Train Accident. When you see a description like “Train Accident,” look for the code with TRA at the end to map to that event correctly.
