(CNN) — Marie Mills held her 77-year-old father, who had collapsed outside in a Washington street. She screamed for help.
A passerby rushed across the street to bang on the door of a fire station, knowing that firefighters are trained to provide emergency medical help.
But they wouldn’t leave the station.
The same thing happened when two more people tried to summon the firefighters for assistance, Mills says.
“We looked across the street at the fire station. There was a firefighter that was actually standing against the fire apparatus,”
