Man charged with falsely reporting emergencies

November 11, 2008

An East Rockaway man was arrested Monday and charged with falsely reporting numerous emergencies including gas leaks and smoke coming from buildings, Nassau police said.

The suspect, Michael Denis, 19, who had previously applied to be a firefighter, used his cell phone to report the emergencies to the Nassau County Fire Communications Center, police said.

The East Rockaway Fire Department responded to the emergency calls and determined all to be false. The calls were made from May 11 through Aug. 22.

Denis, of 3 East Martin St., East Rockaway, was arrested at 3:40 p.m. Monday on five charges of falsely reporting an incident, arson squad detectives said.

Nothing about responding to a call is a waste of time. It makes you get your gear on that much faster next time which maybe the real thing. Also good response time, is good to show the community where there.

What???? Do you think before you type??? Responding to false alarms puts the responders and the public at an unneeded risk! Someone calls in a phone alarm of a reported fire and everyone steps it up a bit, they drive to the firehouse faster, drive the apparatus faster,all for what a false alarm?Oh wait I forgot they got to practice donning their gear, yeah thats worth it! And what if it isn't a good response time? What if its in the middle of the day and you get poor turn out? If you want or need practice donning your gear quicker you can take a nice easy drive to your firehouse anytime and have a ball getting in and out of your gear and not put the public or yourself in any danger!!!

I think you should re-think your statement... what if a brother or sister was fatally injured responding to a false alarm...and as far as the public knowing we are there.....THEY DO....

For someone with less than a year in the fire service, you sure do alot more speaking then you do listening... everyone else pretty much summed it up, I am glad you feel it is more important to get your gear on fast, rather than the safety of everyone including yourself. I'm sure by your statement you are one of the 1 year wonders that responds to the firehouse without due regard for anyone's safety.....

Kevin McKinney died as the result of an accident with an engine from LFD. Both were responding to the same call. This happened in 1979 but I don't think the original call was an MFA.

We have this problem in the city w/ the cops....at least once a day all of a sudden the dispatcher comes on the air "A 10-13 is being called annonymous and unverified at the intersection of xyz for a PO shot call back is from a cell site" Obviously we're all gonna go, but thank god, once again like always its BS. Someone calling 911 saying theres a cop shot at the corner, and probably sitting in his cesspool bedroom staring out the window watching a million cops show up like idiots.

Once in a while it will come in as a specific apartment or address and guess what, that person has 2 seconds to open the door before it gets kicked down. Meanwhile the occupants are clueless as to why there are 30 cops beating thier door down....Usually thats someone that has a beef w/ the occupant and is trying to mess w/ them.

Other times a drug dealer or criminal will call it in at one side of town to get all the cops to go there, and then comitt his crime on his side of town.

Very rarely do these false alarms get investigated, There is no reason why the squad cant trace these call back numbers and make a collar...one day someone is going to get hurt very bad for no real reason

ha ha spoken like a true probie. really, nothing wrong with putting yourself and the public at risk for some jackass whos upset cause he couldnt get into the fd. and its not a waste of time. i mean, we work, we go to school, we have families, and we work a second job with the fire department, only we dont get paid. going to a malicious false alarm is not a waste of the valuable free time we have left, not at all.

why just draw it, hell we've gone this far, fire away! practice for when we might get into a real gunfight. hey john he might be on to something..you could knock out your evoc, range and intac all in one shot at a BS job!

I think you guys are being a bit harsh on bluemule...Granted, i dont know him, nor do i know how long he's been in the fire service. I think what he said was meant w/ good intentions, not meant to be buffy and foolish. Why dont we cut the guy some slack. Maybe this thread opened his mind to a different perspective then the way he was looking at. ORRRR Maybe he's that guy Michael Denis (the perp) ranting from a jail cell trying to justify his calling in of MFA's (sorry buddy had to throw a little jab at ya)

But really, cut the guy some slack, and you know what, maybe if he is a probie, this taught him a lesson about some things.

[ADZE07]

Wonder if he is a Ranter

I take an easy drive, to the firehouse either way. I don't feel like blowing my turbo, tranny, or differential just to get on the first due rig it's just not worth the 1000s and 1000s of dollars to fix my truck. But, what I meant to say, was false alarms are never good and impose an inherent danger to us and the public, but they shouldn't be looked at as a waste of time. You have to take something from each alarm. If your there looking for a leak, look for the meters etc. It might be a false alarm but it doesn't mean something can't be taken from it. Therefore in my eyes not a waste of time. And yes I took an extra stupid pill yesterday.

Until the old analog cell phone service is completely eliminated, E-911 can't track and pinpoint all cellular calls. I forget what the federal deadline is to shutdown Verizon and AT&T's Analog signal. E-911 is part of the cellular system that gives a 911 dispatcher your location via GPS within 15 feet. I personally tested this system with Sprint PCS and NYPD and was extremely impressed.

I think once I have heard someone calling in an "officer needs assistance" call that was BS.


You will however hear the occasional "shots fired" call that is total nonsense.

[NozzleNose]

Tonight we had another one of those what sounded like BS 10-13's come over the air and we got there it was actually an RMP accident w/ two cops pinned in the car that someone called 911 for...so you never know...the cops are ok too btw
