Deputy Mayor promises full investigation
Marie Mills describes what happened last Saturday at the Northeast shopping center where her father, 77-year-old Mills, collapsed of a heart attack in a parking lot across Rhode Island Avenue from Engine 26 Fire Station.
"We looked across the street at the fire station. There was a firefighter that was actually standing against the fire apparatus that was in the fire station observing. Everybody started trying to wave him over."
But the firefighter reportedly told them he had to be dispatched first.
