We are honored to have the participation of
Stephen M. Gregory, Assistant Commissioner FDNY
(Ret.) to provide insight as to not only the personal events
that transpired on September 11th, 2001, but
also the formidable challenges of directing and communicating
information within the FDNY and to the
Media descending upon this disaster. Assistant Commissioner
Gregory was a 46 Year Employee of the
FDNY who rose through the ranks as Fire Alarm Dispatcher to
Chief of Dispatch Operations and on to
Assistant Fire Commissioner. He commanded the 3rd largest Bureau
in the FDNY.
Communications operations consisted of approximately 600
employees which encompassed Dispatch
Operation (both Fire and EMS) FIELD Communications Unit, Alarm
Assignment Unit, Telephone Services
and Plant Operations (Fire Alarm Box Dispatch Network). He had
spearheaded many of the
advancements within the Bureau of Communications and had been
involved with the development and
implementation of technological and operational improvements
used by the Department today.
Commissioner Gregory served as a Liaison to the Fire
Commissioner, responding to the
scene of incidents in progress, keeping the Fire Commissioner
updated. On September 11th, 2001
Commissioner Gregory responded to the World Trade Center from
Headquarters and established a
staging area Command Post along with Assistant Chief Gerry
Barbara just opposite the South Tower of
the World Trade Center, the first tower to fall.
It was a little more than ten years ago that this event changed
our lives forever. Hear, first-hand from
