Refusing to investigate 911 call mistakes, OUC continues years-long failures, putting property and lives at unnecessary risk On July 3, 2025, a Petworth resident called 911 for a family member experiencing a medical emergency. Luckily, Fire and EMS Station #24 is located only two blocks away from her home, meaning help should have been there extremely fast. However, that didn’t happen — the @oucdc operator made a mistake and sent the call to Takoma Station #22. OUC keeps making mistakes year after year, costing precious time, property damage and potentially lives. 🚨 Read at Linktr.ee/PetworthNews or https://www.petworthnews.org/blog/ouc-911-dc-council-failures
