We regret to announce that Dispatcher Mike James passed away yesterday.

Last night  the Nassau County Fire Service lost a true legend. Its with great sadness we announce the untimely passing of Mike James, affectionally known to many as “Biggs”. Mike’s voice has been heard on many of  Nassau County’s fire radio frequencies. Mike was a full time Dispatcher with Bethpage Fire Department and Nassau County Fire Com. Mike also worked at Hicksville, Plainview, Manhasset Lakeville, Syosset, Baldwin and Hempstead PD & Fire Alarm. Mike was also a member of the Hempstead Fire Department.

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. One of the hardest working, honest and humble people anyone could ever could have met. May God keep him and hold him, and may he Rest In Peace.

Funeral Arrangements will be posted when they become available.
