Which dispatch code covers a large animal rescue?

• A. Large Animal Rescue
• B. Mailbox Fire
• C. Missing Person
• D. Lift Assist

Answer: (A)

Dispatch codes categorize incidents by type so responders know what resources to bring. A code specifically for large animal rescue is used when a sizeable animal—like a horse or cow—needs to be freed or moved safely, requiring specialized equipment and trained animal handling personnel. That direct alignment with the incident type and the needed response makes it the best fit for this scenario.

The other options don’t match the situation: a mailbox fire involves firefighting resources for a fire event, a missing person is about locating a person, and a lift assist is about helping a person move or stand, not rescuing an animal.
