What might trigger a "Level 1" response from dispatch?

A "Level 1" response from dispatch is typically reserved for incidents that are deemed low in severity and pose minimal risk to life or property. This level is intended for situations where the response can be managed with limited resources, and the potential for escalation is low.

In contrast, situations such as a major fire outbreak, a hostage situation, or a severe weather warning would trigger a higher level of response due to their significant threat to safety and the potential for extensive damage or danger to civilians. These scenarios require a more comprehensive and urgent response strategy, including more personnel and resources. Thus, a minor incident aligns with the criteria for a "Level 1" response, highlighting its manageable nature and lower urgency.
