Dispatcher was a total pro. Kept command of the network, kept communication short and clear, exercised excellent radio discipline. And let’s not forget he was taking calls from and directing units to other boxes at the same time.
After 9/11 i was sure an MDT type system would be installed in every fire vehicle to eliminate the need to bother dispatch with 10-84's and other routine calls that could be sent digitally by the responding units, so as to keep the air clear and allow important messages to get through without units stepping on each other.
they had mdt’s during 9/11 and before. how well they work and i think some of the radio calls are trying to keep some of that good old traditions going
Alway's enjoy listening to this audio. Dispatcher 190 is amazing! Professional and disciplined. What is take a Mark? and, what is a 10-66? Videos are excellent and very informative to listen to.
To all you people probably buffs the FDNY is and always has been the number1 in communication protocol ability and the envy of all other FDs around the country and the world since 1865!!! BOSTON IS THE OLDEST BUT FDNY IS THE BIGGEST THE BEST and MOST RECOGNIZED BY FAR!!!
First ENG pulled up and there was no fire or even smoke showing. A little after they transmitted the 10-75 fire started showing and the BAT transmitted the 10-60.
+Marius W true, but the 10-60 is more related to collapse than the size/nature of the fire. multiple alarms will handle a large fire. 10-60 is designed for major events like a collapse. i'm just curious it wasn't immediate considering the collapse was the one thing that was self-evident on arrival.
because the way 33 + 9 respond into that scene they saw the black smoke from the rear of the building and knew that there was Heavy fire in the rear to the Rooftop
Watch the video of their arrival. 10-75 initially was a fine call based on the conditions present. Smoke showing with partial collapse on the first floor.
Not sure it's just that, from when I've heard 10-60s in the past the BC have been reluctant to transmit them as well most times I've heard them being transmitted it's been by the Division chief either once they reached scene or as they're still on route based on the initial report from the BC it's probably because of the huge response it brings and how rare it is many officers will never be IC at an incident that requires a 10-60 and not every collapse requires it.

God Bless
Thanks for posting!

To my understanding it is, but such systems aren't immune to malfunctions and break-downs. Especially when supplied by a lowest bidder wins process.

Don't Monday Morning Quarterback, the officer gave the info and the matrix was already rolling.

Smooth dispatcher !
Sounds like there having a lot of with radios and everyone talking at once there steping on each other
Ryan Mcminn Happens at every fire. Very frustrating.
How do I obtain audio from an FDNY call box????
From Firehouse.com.
I can clearly hear all the calls that the control op could not, so far at 5:20
Alan The Fortunate the scanner was probably in a closer spot to the scene than the central office is.
Great audio.

You should have heard the FDNY dispatcher on 9/11.
got the city wide for that box!
Dispatcher probably expected a 9/11 type incident
why the initial 10-75 instead of the 10-60 when the collapse is already known?
It didn't look that bad on arrival.

10-60 means major response
because the way 33 + 9 respond into that scene they saw the black smoke from the rear of the building and knew that there was Heavy fire in the rear to the Rooftop
despatcher I mean. Not the best I have heard.
Sounds like the dispater was getting a little flustered or was it me?
Ryan Mcminn Yikes! He's a new yorker, they always sound that way!
you never been in the dispatchers hole in NY... they got more ice than coolio.!!
NY IS a second home to me i know how hey are but the atc seem to keep there cool most of the time
Cool Ryan I have a home in Tribeca.!
Are you kidding love to see you or your dept handle this SITUATION

Engine 33 should have transmitted the 10-60 when they got there, not a 10-75.

Officer would probably let the imminent chief responding give that serious of a transmission. Calaverys on their way,
