Which 10-code is used to request notification on whether units are available?

• A. 10-40 Advise if Available
• B. 10-32 Answer Units Needed
• C. 10-36 Correct Time
• D. 10-31 Pick Up

Answer: (A)

When you need to know if any units are free to respond, you request a status update on availability. The code that specifically asks the dispatcher to advise whether units are available is 10-40. It directly communicates the need for a real-time availability check, helping you gauge whether a unit can be assigned or if you should wait for one to become free. The other codes serve different purposes: 10-32 is about needing units to respond or be assigned, not simply checking availability; 10-36 relates to time; and 10-31 is about pickup or transport, not whether units are available.
