(1) NEW: 8 miles apart & 2 very different DC locations. One is a tour boat dock in SW. The other is assisted living on the Walter Reed campus in NW. STATter911 has learned these addresses got mixed up during a DC 911 cardiac arrest call yesterday. (more) @CMBrookePinto @SafeDC 
(2) LISTEN: The first call was dispatched at 4:58 p.m. DC 911/@OUC_DC sent 3 @dcfireems units for a person in cardiac arrest at 1320 Maine Avenue SW Suite 117. 1320 Maine Avenue SW is the address for DC Harbor Cruises. (more)
(3) LISTEN: At 5:03 p.m., DC 911 sent 3 different @dcfireems units to a similar sounding address about 8 miles away -- 1320 Main Drive NW. This was also a cardiac arrest call. The building is part of Abrams Assisted Living on the old Walter Reed campus. (more)
(4) LISTEN: Immediately after the Main Drive NW call was dispatched, the @dcfireems units responding to the Maine Avenue call on the waterfront were cancelled by DC 911. An @OUC_DC dispatcher told them the address had changed. (more)
(5) LISTEN: This part is very strange. Almost 14 minutes after it all began, @OUC_DC said a call-taker now reports "the Google address" is the initial SW waterfront Maine Avenue location, even though firefighters were already with the patient on Main Drive NW doing CPR. (more)
(6) While I can tell you WHAT happened, at this point I can't tell you WHY. Maybe @OUC_DC's leaders will do something out of character & immediately explain -- with documentation -- how this got mixed up, losing 4 minutes 30 seconds during a very high priority 911 call. (more)
(7) I don't know if the patient survived, but RT this thread. Ask @OUC_DC for answers. They aren't likely to answer me. There's a much better chance they'll respond to you. Also, contact @safedc @brookepintodc @CMBrookePinto @ChmnMendelson @MayorBowser. Urge them to #FixDC911.
