Michael Puzziferri [23 Jun 2009]

Comments on this Video [3]

"Very interesting. Is there a way to get a copy of the FDNY Watchline or be added to the distribution list? I beleive this is a great idea and a needed aspect for the fire service. Great job."


"Thank you for the information. A great story of development from a local idea growing to a real life resources that has daily application. The partnership is truely critical."


"The video captured the essence of the FSIE. Chief Puzziferri has certainly made the transition from a highly decorated firefighter and officer to a management chief while not forgetting his roots. The Watchline, aptly named, gives the firefighters useful information in a user friendly format. He also gave credit to Captain Rich Parente, intelligence analyst for FDNY, and to DHS for its support. The chief is a team player. I am glad to see that local first responders, such as Chief Puzziferri are enrolled in the NPS Homeland Security MS Program. I am a subscriber to the Watchline on behalf of my fire department, Ithaca, NY. Well done!"
