No one is doing ANYTHING to fix this @kenyanmcduffie @abc7news8 @STATter911 @marycheh @TeamMuriel @councilofdc

DCFems out of ambulances again. Units being told they're "added to the list" to get one. When will it stop? @kenyanmcduffie @abc7news8

@TamaraJackson24 Ward 3 wouldn't look like that longer than a few hours, and you wouldn't even have to call 311 to get it cleaned up
@TamaraJackson24 @CMYMA add it to the list of city services failing the citizens daily. Politicians only care when it's election time

OUC dispatches auto fire with person possibly trapped inside and didn't dispatch an EMS response unit @SafeDC @MayorBowser @kenyanmcduffie
Correction Ward 7: Ambulances used as main form of city health care instead of private doctors, are their plans to address this? @CMYMA
On average, one 1.5sq mile area in Ward 6 accounts for over 45 medical calls to 911. No one is addressing the issue with city healthcare

DCFems OUC continues dispatching non priority and low life threat calls while available ambulances are short. @SafeDC @kenyanmcduffie
At this time, Dispatching Getac tablets fail on all DCFems vehicles again - no comms. OUC verbal transmissions only
OUC dispatches multiple units to the same address for duplicate call - did not confirm calls were actually the same

In my #dcfy16 budget I included an $80M investment in the next 5 yrs to purchase new fleet of emgy vehicles.

Today, we are launching a new effort to recruit the best & the brightest DC residents into @dcfireems.
OUC incapable of properly dispatching and has no clue what units are actually needed on responses @fox5newsdc @MayorBowser @STATter911

The power shift units @dcfireems placed in service at 11am have helped with the ems workload. @MayorBowser @STATter911
Despite having little to no transport units available, DC Communications still dispatching ambulances and fire trucks to non prority calls
City critically low on ambulances before 10am but continues dispatching them on low/non priority calls @dcfireems @MayorBowser @IAFF36
