I just read your post with some concerns. I know several people who work at the TMC where you supposedly called. In fact, I am one of those individuals. I have a couple problems with what you wrote. First off, "mildly retarded"? What kind of statement is that? It is apparent you should look in the mirror prior to making such a remark such as that. All dispatchers are trained, regardless of location, to ask for a mile marker to verify location as many, many 911 callers interpret their location incorrectly. Second of all, the Taconic does not meet the Bronx River Parkway until the circle down by Kensico dam. So, you did not obviously know where you were and that is why ALL 911 dispatchers verify the mile post marker. Now, I will agree with you that the dispatcher should not have hung up. However, dealing with individuals such as yourself on a continous basis does test the patience of the person on the other end of the phone who is trying to help you. Hava a nice day and be safe...

If Pass alarms are going off on the fireground by accident it is a training issue plain and simple.

I don't (ever) post because I often feel like I have nothing to add. I have no experience other than as family. My grandfather was FDNY. My brothers were volunteers in Dutchess County.
But I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to each and every one of you. As a family member, I understand the sacrifices you make, the training you make time for and the time you are away from your families, friends and other activities so you can serve your community in the most amazing way I can think of.
I salute your bravery, your commitment and your expertise. Our communities are better places because you live, work and volunteer here.
Consider this a long distance hug from a very grateful community member.
