I've been sitting at my computer for the past six hours listening to the Brooklyn frequency most of that time. I'm on the other side of the world, in New Zealand, listening through theBravest.com. The 4th alarm had just been struck when I plugged in and six hours later the action has only just slowed.

I have to commend the dispatcher for his professionalism through what really was a night from hell. Along with the 6th alram he had multiple 10-75's and other assorted incidents to handle.

All I can say is well done, dispatcher 125.
