All commands for ARFD radio usage should be stated in plain speech. The only exceptions are the "Fire Codes" and the "General Codes", ("Sub-Codes" included). We do not use the "Hundred" or "Ten" code systems, although we are required to know them for cooperation with the ARPD and other law enforcement agencies, as well as other emergency services.

PLAIN SPEECH IS USED ON FIRE DEPARTMENT RADIO
