Incidents are colored by status.
Map markers are sized by # of units assigned or multiple alarms.
(Incidents with 5+ units are considered major incidents)
Incidents are given a type code based on the emergency.
The mode determines how units respond to an incident.
Code Red: lights & sirens
Code Yellow: no lights & sirens
Type codes belong to a general response category.
Unit IDs distinguish different types of companies and resources.
