at a doggy day care in Northeast Washington, saying they were still reviewing radio transmissions and conducting interviews to determine whether dispatchers and firefighters acted as they should in getting help to those in the building.
He said the three calls were made between 5:06 p.m. and 5:18 p.m., and the first two came from people who were “out of the jurisdiction.” While they referenced flooding, he said, it was unclear whether they conveyed what was happening in the day care.He said at 5:18 p.m., people inside the day care in the 600 block of Rhode Island Avenue NE called 911, and that information was communicated to rescuers in the field.
“To me, the call at 5:18 was clear,” he said. “The other two calls talked about flooding inside the building. What I need to know, and what’s part of the review, is what the radio traffic and conversation was after those first two calls.” Donahue offered the information Thursday in response to a reporter’s questions at a news conference about public safety issues. D.C. Council member Zachary Parker had previously written letters to the city’s fire department and Office of Unified Communications asking about residents’ concerns that emergency responders were delayed in responding to the day care.
