If two people are fighting with no injuries, which code is most appropriate?

• A. 418
• B. 416
• C. 417
• D. 415B

Answer: (B)

When two people are fighting and there are no injuries, the situation is an active physical confrontation that hasn’t resulted in harm yet. The appropriate code is the one that flags a fight in progress without injuries, so responders know to rush to the scene, separate the parties, check for weapons, and assess for any hidden injuries or escalation. It prioritizes a quick, preventive response to stop the fight and keep people safe before injuries occur. The other options describe scenarios that don’t fit an active, injury-free fight: one is reserved for a disturbance or nuisance, another implies injury or a more serious assault, and the remaining variant doesn’t reflect an ongoing physical confrontation.
