Brian Smith says he raised concerns about addresses being flagged as dangerous for first responders based on potentially erroneous information

SEATTLE —A former manager at Seattle's 911 call center says he was wrongly punished for speaking up about problems at work, including a practice that remains in use more than a year after allegedly leading to a man's heart attack death.
Brian Smith says he raised concerns about certain addresses being flagged as dangerous for first responders based on potentially erroneous information about residents — and did so before the practice caused medics to wait for a police escort and needlessly delay treating heart attack victim William Yurek.
