Which code is used for a mailbox fire?

• A. Investigation
• B. Large Animal Rescue
• C. Missing Person
• D. Mailbox Fire

Answer: (D)

Dispatch codes convey the exact incident type so responders know what they’re dealing with and what resources to bring. A mailbox fire is a specific fire scenario, so it has its own code to signal a small outdoor fire involving a mailbox and to guide the appropriate response. That’s why the correct code is Mailbox Fire. The other options describe entirely different situations: Investigation is for non-fire inquiries or follow-ups, Large Animal Rescue is for rescuing animals, and Missing Person is for search operations.
