The Seattle fire department posts its
real-time dispatch record online - handy if you're wondering what all those sirens are about. I got curious about the response codes, and found out that they have
a list. Favorite fire dispatch codes include:
- BARK: beauty bark fire
- FOS: food on stove
- DUMPX: dumpster fire with exposure
- MONOF: monorail fire on beam
- ODOR: odor
- WATMI: water job, minor
