As many have stated...initial comes out as possible structure fire, or structure fire with multiple calls, meaning that more then one person has called in the same fire. When we arrive on scene we give a size up..usually...smoke showing, or smoke ...

Where I'm from it's called a "working fire", No 10 codes

NIMS and ICS training should be teaching everyone to just use simple plain english. One persons 10-22 may be anothers 10-90 and so on. Esp. if you are relying on mutial aid for anything.

We call it a working fire.

We use 10 codes and plain english. The dispatch is going to plain english to get away from 10 codes. Thats Iowa for ya

We define a working fire as a fire in a structure with potential for growth. So if we are dispatched to a structure fire and it is more than a room and contents fire it is repaged as a working fire.

We also will be updated by comms on route if it is a working fire, usually they will advise that "there have been numerous 000 calls for this incident"
