According to the department, the dispatcher misunderstood Huffman Park for Huffingham Road, which is in a different zone.
The crew that received the call realized the mistake and called back within two minutes to let dispatch know.
The dispatcher, a five-year veteran with a clean record, received a letter of counseling.
Rojas' autopsy report, also released Monday, showed that doctors ruled that Rojas died from a congenital heart problem.
