That dispatcher was spot on with every command, updates and follow ups. He should be commended for his work on this busy

[davidowens]

Freakin' dispatcher is an animal!!! How he keeps it all straight and organized is remarkable. A real professional.

[maryrobert]

Dispatcher 312 you should get an award for the way you handled this fire, I never heard such professionalism before on a call and I listened to many calls in my lifetime and You were fantastic!!! Bob

[duenge]

Let's hear it for a dispatcher that talks faster than we can think!!!

[daveboone]

That dispatcher did an outstanding job, so calm under pressure.

[jeffpatch]

Dispatcher 3 1 2.... Rock star... With over 20 years in the business on the radio, I have to say you for sure rocked it...

[wallymarribitt]

Dispatch did a GREAT JOB...well done to all members operating

[earllutz]

What a great dispatcher. It is mind- boggling how the dispatcher kept things organized and handled his job. He certainly should be highly commended. Again, hats off to this highly professional FDNY dispatcher.

[bobandvirginiaravera]

Great video and excellent audio. Dispatcher in total command. FDNY does its usual great job in this dangerous fire!

[crippledbeast_U-toob]

This dispatcher is good at his job, and everyone responding was on point as well. Can't be in this business unless you think fast, and act faster.

[maryrobert]

I've watched this video again today and listened to to Audio very closely, And I still say that dispatcher 312 should get an award for excellence in his field of work for a job well done!!! Bob

[larrymoore]

F DNY always performs exceptionally well !!! Note to dispatcher : Great job handling communications !!!!

[harrykeel]

The dispatcher did a great job. And he spoke were he could be understood! Looks as though one house was being a bit stubborn on going out. Great job!

[dennispatrick]

Wow, big fire. Once again, FDNY members are putting their lives in jeopardy to help citizens of NYC. They are truly BRAVE!!

[stevenpivornik]

Dispatcher was the legit smooth operator

[davebiron]

I was a Fire Dispatcher for 18 1/2 years for the Auburn, Maine FD. Dispatched many multiple alarm fires, some intense. But not even close to what this Dispatcher is going through. This FDNY Dispatcher is top notch as well as others I've heard on other FDNY videos. The Best..

[jimkeappock]

Outstanding radio control by Brooklyn FAD 312

[tomh]

Damn got chills when he said people trapped. Dispatcher was awesome. I would like to shake his hand.

[ronfreniere]

Hopefully all of the resident's were able to get out and to safety. & that there were no injuries to anyone related to this incident.
Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.

I was there yesterday 😢😢 the entire block in my neighborhood smelled like fire & smoke and i immediately ran out of my house to investigate and find out where it was happening and i smelled the strong smell of smoke and i could barely breathe and i saw the fire happening between a house in someone’s yard and it was traumatizing. House fires are seriously no joke at all.
