How can you verify a 900 code address when it is unclear?

• A. Guess based on memory
• B. Request cross-streets, landmarks, or GPS coordinates and ask for clarification
• C. Ignore and proceed
• D. Assume the closest intersection

Answer: (B)

When an address for a 900 code is unclear, the priority is to get precise location information rather than guessing. The best approach is to request cross-streets, nearby landmarks, or GPS coordinates and seek clarification from dispatch or the caller. This anchors you to a definite point on the CAD/map, helps confirm the correct place, and speeds response while reducing the risk of misdispatch. Guessing from memory is unreliable and can waste valuable time or create safety risks. Ignoring the ambiguity or assuming the closest intersection can land you at the wrong location, delaying help and potentially causing harm.
