Beekman Engine 34-12 2008 PUC

Date:December 6, 2011
Time: approx. 1800 hrs.
Location: U.S. 1 The Overseas Highway @"the 18 mile stretch"
Departments: ATF/DEA/ICE/Miami-Dade Sheriffs/FHP/Monroe County Sheriffs/Miami-Dade Fire Rescue/multiple air units including medivac/numerous other LE agencies
Description: Six month investigation into a South Miami-Dade based drugs/automatic weapons dealing gang. Federal agents were on a buy and bust for a kilo of cocaine and a fully automatic AK-47. This lead to a vehicle pursuit with the suspects ramming a DEA vehicle, and an ICE unit in lead pursuit (you'll see the relevance of that if you click the link and check out how many units ended up on scene). The suspects in a Chevy Avalanche type truck fled through Florida City and had just reached the Everglades portion of U.S.1 when they rolled the pick-up. Two very bad perps allegedly came out shooting, one apparently with an automatic rifle. LE returned fire, killed one, and shot the other. The incident led to U.S.1 being shut down in both directions overnight; luckily Card Sound Rd an alternate route into the Florida Keys remained open.

Nice job guys. Just goes to show that the vast majority of people in this field REALLY are in it for the right reasons! To be there for people when they need it the most, and this looks like something this kid needed, and loved.
Nice job HFD!

Meh....;not bad...they have archery teams too?
But an EMS dispatcher will never be on the recieving end of a "FOOT PURSUIT!" or a "Gimme a Second Alarm!"

I make good $$$$...but it isn't enough..LOL ...hence the need for overtime.
I couldnt imagine surviving on my old EMS salary!

Yeah, it is sad but true. 35-38's the norm 'round here. Plus, take into account that it's not only fire dispatching, but also police and ems, so triple the work load. Say a department gets 10,000 calls a year. Try being a dispatcher on half of that, plus police calls, plus ems. Although many departments handle ems, so fire and ems may go hand-in-hand, that's still a heck of a lot of calls, and a large variety. You can go from dispatching a Box to an AFA to dispatching a squad car to a prowler call, withing minutes of each other.
In the end, such low pay does not do a justice to dispatchers, who answer the phone on your worst day you could ever have. Not to mention the stress of talking someone who's paniked, scared, or nervous and trying to calm them down and telling them to do the right thing, like instructing someone on how to do CPR before the first responders arrive.
Pay for dispatchers should be the same everywhere, likewise with fire, police, and ems. Even if it's more in some areas, it's the same work all over the country, handling basically the same calls. It shouldn't be, "the more calls and the more variety, the higher the pay". Who's to say a dispatcher in a rural Smalltown, USA won't handle a home invasion, major fire, violent crimes, and other disasters. Anything can happen anywhere at any time. Dispatchers deserve the same pay across the country for the incredible service that they do.
God Bless dispatchers!

Yup...overtime or multiple jobs...sucks.
