Which description corresponds to code 401?

Which description corresponds to code 401?

• A. Accident
• B. Fire
• C. Prowler
• D. Unknown Trouble

Answer: (A)

In the 400-series, each number maps to a specific incident description used to quickly categorize calls and guide the response. This number is reserved for an Accident, so when dispatch uses it, responders know to expect a vehicle crash and to set up appropriate traffic control, potential medical aid, and scene safety procedures. It isn’t the description for a fire, a prowler, or unknown trouble—those are tied to different codes that cue different actions. So the description that matches code 401 is Accident.
