Lexington Fire Incident Labels

Adds readable labels, map links, traffic cameras, and a refresh timer to the Lexington Fire incident page.

Lexington Fire Incident Labels enhances the Lexington Fire Department’s incident status page, fire.lexingtonky.gov, with at-a-glance information that makes the raw data actually useful. What it does Type code labels The status page shows cryptic codes like MED, FVEA, FSTRW, and FOTS. This extension decodes them into plain English, such as “Medical Emergency,” “Vehicle Accident,” “Structure Fire / Working,” and “Other Service,” displayed in small text directly below each code. It covers all 26 Fayette County dispatch type codes from the RadioReference wiki. Apparatus labels Apparatus assignments like E13, L06, EC7, and 202 are decoded into their vehicle types, such as Engine 13, Ladder 06, EMS Captain 7, and Command 202. It supports Engines, Ladders, EMS Captains, Trucks, Squads, Rescues, Battalion Chiefs, Hazmat, Ambulances, Utilities, Brush Trucks, Air Trucks, and Medic Pumpers. Google Maps links Every incident address becomes a clickable link that opens in Google Maps with “Lexington, KY” automatically appended, so you can quickly see exactly where each incident is located. Traffic camera links If an incident is near one of Lexington’s 112 LFUCG traffic cameras, the extension shows clickable links to the live camera feed on trafficvid.lexingtonky.gov. Street names are normalized and fuzzy-matched, so “Man O’ War” and “MOW” are treated the same. This makes it easy to check real-time road conditions near an active incident. Custom refresh timer The original page refreshes every 60 seconds with no user control. This extension replaces that with a configurable refresh timer featuring a visual countdown with an animated progress ring, pause and resume controls, a “Refresh Now” button for instant updates, and adjustable intervals of 10 seconds, 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes, or 5 minutes. Your preferred interval is saved between sessions. Privacy This extension runs only on fire.lexingtonky.gov. It collects no user data, makes no external API calls, and stores only your refresh interval preference in local storage. No analytics, no tracking, and no accounts. Open source Built with plain vanilla JavaScript. No frameworks, no build tools, and no dependencies.
