What code is used for a lift assist?

• A. Investigation
• B. Lift Assist
• C. Missing Person
• D. Mass Decon Response - UK Commonwealth Stadium

Answer: (B)

In fire dispatching, codes are used to quickly convey the exact type of incident. A lift assist is the code that fits when responders are called to help someone with a building elevator—someone stuck or needing assistance to enter or exit due to elevator issues. This is the best fit because it describes a specific elevator-related aid, not a situation requiring investigation, a missing person report, or a large-scale decontamination operation. The other codes represent different scenarios: an investigation is used when there’s no active incident to handle, a missing person involves locating someone, and a mass decon response at a stadium covers a large hazardous materials or contamination event.
