(1) NEW: HUGE DC 911 news in the middle of @ELaserDavies's article on the latest mistake where someone died. Things are so bad @SafeDC admits they're considering moving fire & EMS dispatch to @dcfireems where it was before OUC was created. (more) @CMLewisGeorgeW4 @charlesallen

As the Red Line is back up and running, audio communication from openmhz.com shows a Metro train in a tunnel with passengers got very close to the electrical sparking issue Saturday night. #wmata @nbcwashington

Replying to @patpend
@patpend I've been monitoring @OpenMHz Alexandria police/fire/ems. Our first responders are slammed. Ambulance response times slow, because of staff shortages, volume and road conditions. Overload of calls for service. Hospital ER slammed. – at Alexandria, VA
And from Montgomery's ECC: openmhz.com/system/mocomdps?…

(1) NEW: The story of today's Gallery Place incident may be best told in Metro's radio traffic. It's quite dramatic, with apparent confrontations between passengers & Metro workers before some passengers self-evacuated. Listen yourself in the next tweet. (more)

#DCsBravest are saddened to advise that the child rescued by our firefighters has succumbed to her injuries. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and the community.
(2) From @OpenMHz this is the @ArlingtonVaPD & @ArlingtonVaFD time stamped radio traffic verifying at least a 12 minute delay. Seems odd to me with multiple people confirmed shot.

Finally finished listening to all the DCFEMS scanner audio for car crash calls from last month, with help from @dcpolicycenter. Bike and pedestrian crashes in certain parts of our city seem to be *massively* under-reported in official crash statistics.

Following up on my colleague @RamirezReports story, @fox5dc learns new details about a 911 call that reportedly sent @dcfireems to 1432 Girard St NE instead of NW in the #District. We have the call recording @OpenMHz, plus a response from @OUC_DC on their handling of the matter.

You know it's a bad day when even your smoke alarm turns on you. @dcfireems dispatched a few minutes ago. But despite this, we all know smoke alarms & sprinklers save lives. Audio courtesy of @OpenMHz.

DC RADIO TECHS testing RADIOS in Metro tunnels now on UCC-2 talkgroup... amazingly they are not encrypted :-

DC Fire had just encrypted its radios when it ran into trouble in the #Metro #wmata tunnel smoke crisis. Coincidence? Maybe not. @wusa9

Rep. Beyer: "Death of Carol Glover was an unnecessary tragedy" - radio problems, ventilation problems, radios, wait for 2nd alarm
Mikulski says they were upset that communication breakdowns occurred after 9-11.
