Which code is used to request a tow truck?

• A. Accident (Personal Injury/Property Damage)
• B. Tow Truck Needed
• C. Ambulance Needed
• D. Subject Negative

Answer: (B)

When a vehicle needs to be removed from a scene, the direct request is to call for a tow truck. Saying “Tow Truck Needed” communicates exactly that you need a towing or wrecker service dispatched to handle the vehicle. This keeps the call concise, unambiguous, and ensures the right resource is sent quickly. The other phrases describe something else: the first indicates an accident scenario with injuries or property damage, not the removal of a vehicle; the ambulance request is for medical transport; and the “subject negative” status is about a person’s cooperation, not vehicle removal. Using the specific tow request avoids confusion and speeds up getting the proper assistance to the scene.
