Re: [californiadisasters] Re: burning truck in Big Bear is confirmed to be Do...

In other words it means "this frequency is restricted to emergency traffic only". I've used Code 33 here on this list before during fire sieges when I wanted to lock things down to postings ONLY about the fire emergency with anything else being moved to the discussion list. Come to think of it, it has been awhile since that has happened... I wonder for how much longer California will coast along without anything happening such as would clog up this list?

More correctly it means that the incident requires the channel(s) for its own use. 

Things like officer safety, chase or similar demand it.  SWAT, if active, will have their own secured channel (scrambled these days, scanners ignore that traffic) so a major incident can tie up a lot of limited radio spectrum.  Code 33 is only used for something special. 

For the scanner listener, it means pay attention, sumpin hot goin down.
