Abbreviations
This list of abbreviations are all of those that might appear in fire calls found within the Youngstown Recent Fires and Responses section of the website. Any call that I personally hear on the scanner is formatted similar to the FirePage Ohio calls, and therefore, we use identical abbreviations. Most other calls I find, such as from the World of Fire Report, IPN, or heard by Greg Ricker, are reformatted to the FPO style to create a sense of similarity within the pages.
