  • 33.980 (Perry County Fire) and 33.860 are sometimes patched together for Glenford runs in Licking County.

Codes

Fire/EMS departments in Licking County have moved almost entirely to plain language, although some remnants of BSSA codes and signals remain, such as 33 (en route), 37 (on the scene), 13 (non-emergency response), 27 (emergency response), and 16 (death). Also, the Newark Fire Department occasionally still uses "10-22," their former code for the police department, and "10-33," which indicates an emergency response (with lights and sirens), primarily when transporting to the hospital.

Codes and Signals

Most departments in Licking County use Buckeye State Sheriffs Association codes and signals to some degree. In addition, some use "Priority 1" for emergency response (lights and sirens), "Priority 2" for regular response, and "Point 19" for drunk drivers.

The Reynoldsburg Police Department uses Columbus Police codes. The Ohio State Highway Patrol uses its own codes. The Licking County Sheriff's Office began using plain language on April 2, 2014.
