I've only heard it a few times, but sometimes you'll hear an ambulance sent to 'the portal' for a standby.this is Highway 140 and Highway 406.the portal to the Welland Canal tunnel. Other codes include the Association of Police Communications Offers (APCO), Norfolk, VA, and Walnut Creek, CA ten (10) codes. You might also hear an ambulance, particularly one from the Port Colborne or Fort Erie base saying something like 'we've arrived at the bend'.that refers to what is commonly called the 'S' bend.on Highway 3 on the border of Port Colborne and Fort Erie (Holloway Bay Road and Highway 3).units do Code 8 Standby's there all the time. USPS Tracking ® 9400 1000 0000 0000 0000 00. There are 4 sets of codes commonly used in the US, the general code is the most common.

In reality, they're saying 'MET-CENTER' which is the Marine Education and Training Center on Barber Drive along the Welland Canal.Īlso I kept hearing them refering to 'The Dew', which is really 'The Dieu', as in the Hotel Dieu hospital.that should be obvious, but it took me a bit to figure it out

One thing that took me awhile to figure out was particularly used by PCDAS (Port Colborne and District Ambulance Service), which was what sounded like 'MED Center'.the fire department and police also use it a lot. I listened to Niagara EMS for close to 7 years and I've never heard 'DSA'.my guess is that you're mistaking VSA for DSA.
