Which incident type is coded 31I?

Which incident type is coded 31I?

• A. Downed Wires
• B. Electrical Short (Interior)
• C. Open Door/Window
• D. Fire - Assembly

Answer: (B)

The code 31I is built to identify electrical issues by two parts: a numeric category and a letter tag. The number 31 points to the electrical-related category, and the letter I indicates interior, meaning the problem is inside a structure. So 31I directly maps to an Electrical Short (Interior): a short circuit occurring indoors. That’s why this choice fits: it’s the interior electrical short, not a downed outside line, not an open door/window, and not a fire incident. If the issue were outdoors, the suffix would point to exterior instead of interior, and the overall category would reflect a different electrical scenario.
