Ive known Wah for a number of years, one day i'll be a true legend just like him
Have recently become friends with Warren. I started in the fire service as a dispatcher for Hampshire County Fire/EMS up in Amherst, Massachusetts. When there was nothing going on, I could listen to Brooklyn due to an atmospheric skip in the troposphere. That's how I was "introduced" to Warren.
God’s gift to a detailed chauffeur or officer! Warren there’s not many that can do this job to the level you did. Your a legend!! Enjoy your retirement brother
Nicest bloke I’ve ever met, he gave us a tour of the area and told us some awesome stories
I worked for the Department down in Virginia that was on the same radio freq.(154.370) as Brooklyn. Brooklyn dispatchers often referred to us as "green acres". On certain days we heard Brooklyn better than our own units. I was a firefighter/dispatcher at the time. I came on the job as a firefighter in 1971 and was "promoted" to comm. in 1974. After listening to Brooklyn for a period of time I decided to give Brooklyn Comm. a call and see if I could come up and see their operation. Who did I get?? Yep, Warren. Warren was great and set me up to not only come to Brooklyn Comm. but to ride with 41 Battalion out 248 Engine. I got to meet him and even had dinner in Comm. that night which I seriously doubt he remembers. Comm. was under renovation at the time and was in very much disarray. I ended up coming back up to ride with the 41 several more times. I really appreciate Warren taking the time to work with me, especially being from "'green acres" which was actually Prince William County, VA Fire Department and was mostly volly at the time. I was the 13th career guy hired so I got in in the beginning. This department is in the D.C. suburbs adjoining Fairfax County, VA. I retired in 1997. THANK YOU WARREN!!!
Nice story. Sez alot about him.
Warren is a LEGEND! I remember listening to him on the scanner as a kid!!!! This interview podcast is priceless. Thanks for bringing Warren on!
Warren was such a beloved dispatcher in his time. I remember his over the air farewell after 911 and I became very emotional and disappointed about him leaving. His voice was so unique and special from fire transmissions to directing apparatus traffic...This interview got me very excited cuz I haven't been able to find any old clips of him despite searching over the years.
Great show guys
He needs to write a book!
Great to hear a buff working out of 323, I grew up down there now I live in Lanc County
Love that you had a dispatcher on the podcast. They are the anonymous hero’s in every fire/EMS system. They also know what’s going on! What a great run for him after all those years! Much respect to great dispatchers!
Great episode guys! I have been to hundreds of police & fire scenes and none were possible without Dispatchers! Sadly the burnout in the Dispatch Centers is astronomical in the currant day and age.
That was an awesome final call/send off
Great - really enjoyed it! - I disp in the bronx from 1969 ro 1979 Thanks again (#182)
Thanks Randy. The boys
Amazing show. When I was growing up I used to listen to Warren on my radio. Godspeed to you Warren.
Good one boys. I remember the Voice clearly. A true gent and will always be one of us.
I show this to my guys now - this is how you do the job
I'm newer Fire & Ems dispatcher in California (since 2012), dispatcher #3, and I enjoyed this interview. I never stop learning from those who dispatched before me!
Listen to this guy dispatch on 9/11. He was amazing.
One of the best ones so far.
Great to hear this gentleman. Buffs make the best workers be they in the C.O. like him or on the rigs.
This was an awesome cast. Maybe you guys could also hit up Beefy 3-3-oh from The Bronx CO. Another awesome guy with a ton of history.
🌲 Tree tree o
The BEST!!!
really enjoyed it!..I know warren from way back in the day, all time classic, lots of great memories ,makes me miss the job even more
I've always said you have to think on your feet. Don't be afraid to make a decision. In today's world people can't it seems ( do either).
Great show with a great guest who I heard operating many hours a great gentlemen thank you Warren
As always great show guys keep up the great work 👍
Outstanding chat with a great man!
Great stuff... you earned a subscriber!
Great stuff dogs thank you 😁
My grandfather was one of the original members of Squad 1 when it was first put in service in 1955 in Harlem. Believe they were at the Harlem Zoo, Eng 59. Great show fellas
Joey Cafone good stuff
Very good guys excellent
I live in Bucks County, it is a beautiful place.
My favorite was 254 in the Bronx.
Superb, perfect video to sit down with a cold beer to. Strong work guys. Stay safe from Liverpool, England.
Thank you very much!
Great channel guys so many great stories and good information. As I am also a dispatcher would be great to see more dispatchers on.
in the works :)
tree tree oh in the bronx was great too
About 20 years ago, dispatcher 247 was really good. 248 was the most calm, in my opinion.
Great video, you gotta try and get the beef man on a podcast.
You guys should get that guy who takes video of all the fires and the rigs. I forget his name but he has a thousand videos up on UTube. He is the ultimate buff.
Bucks County isn’t too far from me
What year was the Atlantic Ave fire?
Bucks County noice
Excellent show! I missed it live due to night training. You guys find the best guests....... I see 2 assholes gave a thumbs down . Hope they got balls enough to comment why
Todd Swansby ...sausage each is own 😬🥴
@@GettinSaltyExperience I guess so........ BTW thank you for fixing my T-shirt order. It came the other day. Also thanks for the extra goodies you sent with it! 👍🇺🇲
What about today, do dispatch today get out and see the houses? Or do they just stay behind the desk?
the pheonix arizona fire dept claims they are more advanced then fd ny. better training and firefighting tactics. THEY BUST BE CRAZY. i say let the pheonix firemen come to fdny and show what they got.
Yeah but NYFD has them beat on time and volume, I didn’t look it up but I’d wager NYFD predates the city of Phoenix
Who the fuck downvoted this ....
Have you guys interviewed John lightsey?
