Airport Alert Dispatch Codes

Alert 1 --> Plane is still in the air but having technical problems, such as 
              landing gear not working.  Crash-Fire-Rescue waits at their station.
Alert 2 --> Same as an Alert 1 except the Crash-Fire-Rescue units wait for the 
              plane at the runway.
Alert 3 --> A bona fide plane crash at or near the airport.  St. Pete/Clearwater 
              and Albert Whitted Airports each have a direct line to dispatch.  The 
              difference between an Alert 3 and a Plane Crash is how the call is 
              received.  If called in by the airport on the direct phone line, the call 
              is coded an Alert 3.  If a 911 call, such as the Bayflite disaster, then 
              the call is coded as a 4PC, which is a Plane Crash. 
Alert 4 --> Hijackings, bomb threats, or hazmat problems.  Plane is still in the 
              air and Crash-Fire-Rescue may wait at their station.
