If a tip checks out and the story is worth telling, I'm going to work it. The fatal incident occurred Saturday when 77-year-old Medric Cecil Mills Jr., who had worked for the District more than four decades, collapsed outside a computer store at a strip mall across the street from the fire station on Rhode Island Avenue in the Brookland neighborhood. Mills’ daughter, Marie, says no one from the station, located in the 1300 block of Rhode Island Avenue in Northeast D.C., would cross the street to help her father despite numerous pleas for assistance. Davis was questioned for more than an hour and a half, and when she left headquarters, FOX 5 attempted to speak with her. “There are no regulations or protocols that would have prevented [fire department] personnel on the scene from taking action to help Mr. Mills,” Paul A. Quander Jr., deputy mayor for public safety, said in a statement Thursday. (He) did not return with an address. Mills was surprised to learn Lieutenant Davis has not been suspended. We gave her the opportunity to tell her side of the story, but she said nothing. No action has been taken against a probationary firefighter who told people who sought help for the dying man that they had to call 911 before anyone could respond, although Davis said in her letter to the chief that she reprimanded that firefighter for not ringing the station alarm. If he would have offered assistance, no matter the outcome, no matter what his job was, my family is the kind of family that would have stuck behind him.” 
 
 Cecil Mills was 77 years old and a lifelong resident of the District. Three fire department officials said that the probationary firefighter was moved to Truck 11, near Brightwood Park, and responded to a fire Wednesday night. Mayor Vincent Gray has promised a quick conclusion to the investigation. This was an (Unusual Occurrence) in that my order was not followed.” 
 
 That address is right across from the firehouse. Others who have called have not been as sincere and I appreciate how seriously he is taking this because it never should have happened.” 
 
 Ed Smith, president of the firefighters union issued a statement which reads: “This just shouldn't have happened. A cause of death has not been determined.
– A fire lieutenant and a firefighter are on administrative leave after a man suffered a heart attack across the street from their Washington, DC, firehouse on Saturday and no one at the station helped him; Medric Mills, 77, later died. Authorities are still investigating the situation, but the lieutenant wrote in a letter to DC's fire chief that a firefighter told her someone slipped and fell across the street, WTTG reports. She told him to get an address and she'd go to assist, but, she says, he never brought her an address; instead, she later found him and says he told her an ambulance had been dispatched. Both are currently on desk duty. As for the probationary firefighter who told bystanders asking for help that they had to call 911 before rescuers could respond, he was reprimanded for not ringing the station alarm, but officials say he followed procedure by telling the lieutenant about the situation, the Washington Post reports. It's not yet clear why no assistance was then given, but the probationary firefighter was not placed on leave; he was transferred to another station. "We know we had a very new probationary employee at the facility and the first response is to ask a senior person, and we believe that was done," the deputy mayor for public safety tells WTTG. "The question now is what did that senior person say? What did that person do? Did they follow protocols and procedures?"
