The districts new fire chief got an ear full today as members of the council and the public expressed frustration about how long its taking to fix the citys emergency medical services. News4s Mark Segraves is outside the Wilson Building where the chief is still testifying. Mark . Reporter hey, wendy. Thats right. You know, this is the annual oversight hearing for the d. C. Fire department and it had been scheduled for some time, but it took on new meaning last week when the Fire Departments medical director abruptly resigned and then her resignation went public. In that letter she said the culture of the Fire Department is toxic and the leadership is resistant to change. The districts fire and Ems Department has been plagued by slow and failed nine months ago mayor bowser brought in a new fire chief to fix it. Chief gregory dean sat for hours today hearing from frustrated experts and council members. I am losing faith. Where is our sense of urgency . Every ems system has a file that they dont want to talk about, and thats the file of patients that would have been better off calling uber rather than 911. Reporter chief dean has insisted hes working to fik the problems and using a private Ambulance Service will go a long way. We never said we started off with a perfect system. Weve said we have to do training. We said we have to buy time and thats why we asked for a thirdparty provider. Reporter the one Witness Council members were most interested to hear from was the former medical director who said her attempts to make improvements like increased testing and assessments of medical staff were blocked by the chief. We spent an inordinate amount of time talking about response ti w probably important for the time sensitive illnesses and thats about it. We spend a lot of time trying to adhere to a standard that has no basis in science. We believe that a thirdparty provider would be the bridge to allow us to be able to have time to do the training, to do our preventative maintenance. Weve not moved off that. The Council Agreed to that. Dr. Saussy has changed her opinion and thats what we heard today. Reporter now, dr. Saussy and other experts who testified today say that the one way to truly fix the ems responses here in the district is to allow the medical director, whoever the new medical director will be, to have the authority to change policy. Coming up at 6 00, youre going to hear more from dr. Saussy and from the fire chief, including the fire chiefs response to her assertion that the fire chief is immune to grief. Jim, back to you.

Train doors have been opening on the wrong side of some trains. This happened at least three times in just the past two weeks. Transportation reporter adam tuss broke this story on twitter today, and he joins us live from the smithsonian station where one of those recent incidents happened. Adam . Reporter thats right, jim. These incidents happened between january 30th and february 9th, and in every one of these cases, the train operator made a mistake. January 30th at the smithsonian station, doors opened on the wrong side. They need to be more organized. Reporter february 9th at grosvenor, doors opened on the wrong side. I think its a human error prince georges plaza, doors opened on the wrong side of the train. Big lapse of judgment. Reporter in each one of the cases the operator mistakenly pressed the door button for the wrong side. If an operator opens the doors on the wrong side, not only does that present a safety hazard, but the operator is then required to stop the train, get out, walk around the entire train, make sure nothing has fallen out so that the train can proceed safely forward. These are some other recent pisc of doors opening on the wrong side snapped by operators. Metro tells us operators open the doors 245,000 times on a typical work day. Chief spokesperson dan stessel said when an action is repeated this frequently, the potential exists for muscle memory to take over. Metrorail told to increase their monitoring of trains. Coming up on news4 at 6 00, train operators are being told to pause at stations when they go in there. Ill tell you why the Transit Agency says that will help fix this problem. Wendy, back to you.

Well, apple locked in a fierce battle with the feds over the iphone that was used by one of the San Bernardino shooters. A judge ordered the company to help the fbi unlock that phone, but apples ceo says that move could put your privacy at risk. Nbc news justice correspondent is here to describe this. Reporter if you have an iphone, you know how it works. You have to type in a code to unlock the phone. This involves a phone that was found in actually the mothers car of syed farouq, one of the San Bernardino shooters, and the fbi says they cant get into it. They want to know if it was used by syed farouq. They want to know whether it has information on it about whether other people were involved, whether they had other targets in mind but they cant open it because they dont know the code. Now, here is the issue. Iphones have a builtin feature that if you wrongly type in the code more than ten times, youre looking at that right now, the phone automatically scrambles the contents and theyre lost forever. The fbi cant sit there and keep guessing. So what they want to do is they bant apple to put new software, plug a device into the software and change that security feature, defeat it so apple can then plug in a computer which will keep entering numbers until it hits on the right combination. Opening the phone. Apple says we dont have that software. They dont deny they cant do it. Thats one interesting note. Apple used to say if we got a court order we cant unlock a phone if you dont tell us the number, you the customer. Now theyre saying, well, maybe we could but we shouldnt have to. Pete, could they do it just for this one case or if they create this, would it be for all phones out there or is there a chance that somebody else could get their hands on this code . Thats precisely apples point. Apple says theres no good for one ride only ticket. That if they create this software, in essence scrambling the software in the phone, theyre creating a master key and they say if it got into the wrong hands, it could be used by hackers. Now, with he have to say one other thing here that apple isnt saying. Apple sells its phones all over the world. Theyre worried if they sell phones in china or russia that that government might say we want you to open the phones here, too. How come the government doesnt have the ability with because it involves changing the actual operating system of the iphone which is proprietary to apple. Only apple can do this. Apple says we havent done it yet and we shouldnt have to, and they also apple says the government doesnt have the Legal Authority to force them to do it and thats what the courts will have to decide. Pete williams, thanks so much. Well see you tonight on nightly news. And in our flash survey we asked you thought the government was going too far in asking apple to do this.

Reporter after years of allegedly doing this, she only encountered about 1,300 in money that she wasnt supposed to, and according to the state and the defense, they were saying, you know, this is a lot of money for us to have a trial for but the states attorney is saying that this is about defrauding folks when youre in a power position. When children cant afford school lunch, the government will provide. State prosecutors say former Prince Georges County School Board Member lynn mundey took advantage of that while she was making well over 70,000 a year. Mundys welfare fraud and theft trial got under way in Prince Georges County court. According to state prosecutors, for four years mundey applied for free and reduced lunch. Qualification is based on income and family size. State prosecutors say mundey used an invalid food stamp case number to qualify although she was actually making more than 70,000. Mundey was appointed to board by rushern baker. She stepped down before the accusation s were made public. She was an employee for the Government Accountability office. That federal office searches for fraud within government agencies. Mundey and four other gao employees were discovered defrauding the prince georges Lunch Program when the agency performed its own internal audit. Its important to note that mundey did pay back the 1,300 that she used in this alleged defrauding scam, but according to the Prince Georges County courts, they still wanted to go forward with this case.
