Which code means Unknown Trouble?

• A. FSRCU
• B. FUNT
• C. FSTR
• D. FTRS

Answer: (B)

Understanding how dispatch codes map to incident descriptions is tested here. FUNT is the code used for Unknown Trouble. This designation is used when the caller reports trouble but the exact type or source hasn’t been identified at the moment of dispatch. It tells responders to proceed and evaluate on scene to determine what is happening, rather than acting on a clearly defined incident type. The other codes represent different, named situations and would not be used to indicate an unidentified problem, so they aren’t appropriate for Unknown Trouble.
