FDNY Bronx Dispatch Operations - vintage FDNY video
Вставка

- I recorded this off of public access tv about 13 years ago. I'm sure I'll eat shit for posting it, but I hope you enjoy. This video is copyrighted by the FDNY, recorded and produced by the Audio/Video unit of the New York City Fire Department.
This video is a tribute to some of the great Bronx dispatchers, which are featured here, including Borough Supervisor John Cashin, Supervising Dispatcher Dennis O'Connell (RIP DOC), Ritchie Pressler, now a supervisor in Manhattan, Mark Mianulli (RIP, Mark), Brendan Keeney, Bill Treanor, Vin Allegro, and of course, the Beef.
FDTV was a show on NYC public access, Cablevision, during the mid 1990s, which was a show "for the members, by the members" that offered good training videos and was shown in many firehouses.
Hard to find a better dispatching voice than Mark Mianulli (281): intonation, clarity, dictation, and consummate professional.
mark and I were in the same engine company together in woodbury ny co3 he will never be forgotten . mark and the beef were the 2 best ever hands down
sure beats the heck out of 911 operators ! he cool and very calm and got all the facts needed in a timely fashion !
Thanks for this video. I remember the " back in the day " videos like this one. My how things have changed !! Again, thank you. 👍🏻
I seen that other one on the backside just last month. Thank you for bringing the tires back to get rotated.
No Pre-Release in those days, And the operation still worked, Amazing Huh! & The Old Keyboards, DOC-Mark-Beefy, Great Stuff.
Also, Beef once told me that his alarm receipt appearance in this video was completely staged - further evidenced by the fact that he's on the ERS phone and asking the caller for their phone number...
BTW...If Treanor's "fire" at Cablevison in the Bronx, if received in, say, 1972, in the middle of the day, would have been met with, "Cablevision, eh?" Big fire?" And you're the only one who sees it, right?" SLAM!
No, that's Mark Mianulli, dispatcher 281. he was working in the X on 9/11.
Never mind.. he wasnt on the radio that day.
I've heard him a couple weeks ago at a 3 alarm in Brooklyn.
Tree tree oh at the end... a legend
Excellent !!
Rest in peace Dennis
Great man old school
It says a lot about the "leadership" of communications that the same computer equipment used in the 1970s was still being used in 1995.
Thanks so much for posting and preserving this.
Totally awesome, this is how I remember the Bronx CO, my brother and I were sometime visitors back in the 70's and 80's, anyone remember Ziggy feundlic (dont know if I got the spelling correct, Sorry) or Sol Elbaum? Heard the Office has gotten a major upgrade into the 21st century, would love to pay a visit. Safe tour to all.....
Anyone else notice the lousy editing job, causing Cashin to repeat himself at the beginning of the video?
The Beef!!!!
Shows like this are interesting. This is real reality.
Since the FDNY is a publicly funded taxpayer entity in the city, the films etc produced by them are public domain, it's the same with the Library of Congress photos and documents, they are public records.
He said he would alert the fire and the alarm went off.
Re: "legendary" dispatchers...yes, those guys mentioned were perhaps "legendary," but those "legends" soon disappear when one leaves the Central Offices. Just ask Joe Higgins, Warren, Elbaum and a host of others who passed though the doors of "Club 1129" & 35 Empire Blvd. Once you're out, your out. You're yesterday's news. and it's the same way (even more so) with the Uniformed Force.
Why do FDN dispatchers have radio ID #'s hat they must say? The only dispatchers in the St. Paul, Minnesota (Twin Cities) Metro Area that I know that use radio ID #'s is our Medical system (MRCC). This is the radio system that all the ambulances use to advise a central dispatch who advises the various Emergency Rooms of an Ambulance heading to them.
I counted 68 cents and 2 good rubberbands once!
The internet is a wonderful thing.
Childs play compared to Brooklyn...The Boro of Fire!
@NYsentinel what?? overnight alarm?? watchstander?? PD doesn't force entry to a pickup of a 59.
Tree Tree Oh
negative. it was the motion detector at the gate.
Good info!
I’m sure it was a good system but my god it sounds complicated.
quiz: what's the "ding" at 5:57 for? first person that gets it right gets an FDNY t-shirt.
It’s been 10 years with no answer, you still got that shirt?
I want the shirt!!! :)
It sounds like a phone ringing
WHERE'S THE BEEF
RIP DOC !
stender, that you?
Wasnt the dispatcher at 3:46 also the brooklyn dispatcher on 9/11?
