DC fire lieutenant faces disciplinary board

WASHINGTON (AP) — A District of Columbia fire lieutenant who was in charge of a station when no one went to help a dying man across the street will go before a trial board.

Medric Cecil Mills Jr. went into cardiac arrest in a parking lot across from a fire station on Jan. 25. According to an internal report, five firefighters inside the station were aware that someone needed help, but none provided any aid. Ultimately, a police officer flagged down a passing ambulance, and Mills later died at a hospital.
