The movie ''[[Convoy (1978 film)|Convoy]]'' (1978), loosely based on McCall's song, further entrenched ten-codes in casual conversation, as did the movie ''[[Smokey and the Bandit]].

The New Zealand [[reality television]] show ''[[Ten 7 Aotearoa]]'' (formerly ''Police Ten 7'') takes its name from the New Zealand Police ten-code 10-7, which means "Unit has arrived at job".<ref name="Admin">{{Cite web |last=Admin |first=Blow on the Pie |title=NATIONAL RADIO CODES / POLICE {{!}} BlowonthePie - For New Zealand Scanner Codes and more |url=https://blowonthepie.co.nz/emergency-codes/national-radio-codes-police/ |access-date=2025-03-02 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Screen |first=NZ On |title=Police Ten 7 {{!}} Series {{!}} Television {{!}} NZ On Screen |url=https://www.nzonscreen.com/title/police-ten-7-2002/series#:~:text=Taking%20its%20name%20from%20police,began%20presenting%20in%20September%202015. |access-date=2025-03-02 |website=www.nzonscreen.com |language=en}}</ref>

== TxtFire Philippines Fire-Specific 10-Codes ==

{| class="wikitable"

'''TxtFire Philippines''' employs a subset of its standard 10-codes exclusively for fire-response operations. These fire-specific signals are used to dispatch and coordinate firefighting resources on VHF/UHF radio.

== Fire-specific code list ==

{| class="wikitable sortable"

! Code !! Meaning

|-

|}

== Fire response protocols ==

* Codes 10-70 through 10-73 automatically trigger dispatch of firefighting units and apparatus.

* Code 10-45 is used to identify any fire-service vehicle (engine, ladder, tanker, etc.) on the air.

* All fire-specific traffic takes priority over routine and non-fire messages on the main frequency.

== Operational procedures ==

=== Emergency protocols ===

Codes 10-70 through 10-73 are designated as fire-specific codes that trigger automatic dispatch protocols within the TxtFire network.

Code 10-33 is reserved exclusively for life-threatening emergencies, requiring all non-essential radio traffic to cease immediately.

=== Communication guidelines ===

Before initiating non-emergency communication with another station, operators must first request permission using code "10-75" from base control and complete the communication within three minutes, or transfer to a secondary channel.

During curfew hours (22:00–06:00), only emergency traffic is permitted on the main frequency; routine communications are prohibited.

Base control strictly prohibits vulgar language and commercial or personal advertisements on all frequencies.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.scribd.com/document/85146964/10Codes-and-Rules |title=10Codes and Rules |website=Scribd |access-date=2025-07-26}}</ref>
