What does Signal 36 refer to?

Signal 36 refers to a fire that is not associated with a motor vehicle. This designation is part of a code used by emergency services to quickly communicate the nature of incidents they respond to. Understanding this terminology is crucial for efficient coordination between various departments during emergency situations.

In practice, knowing that Signal 36 denotes a fire “other than motor vehicle” helps responders prioritize resources and ensure that the correct teams are dispatched to address the specific type of incident.

The other signals mentioned represent different situations: a fire related to a motor vehicle or a disabled vehicle. This distinction is essential for the safety and effectiveness of emergency responses, emphasizing the necessity of such codes in communication among responders.
