The tragedy, one of the city\u2019s deadliest, unfolded early Monday in the New Southwest\/Mount Clare neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"422\" data-end=\"897\">The firefighters were battling a blaze in an abandoned rowhouse\u2014previously damaged by fire in 2015\u2014when the structure suddenly collapsed. Two firefighters were rushed to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center but later died. They were identified as Lieutenant Paul Butrim, firefighter\/paramedic Kelsey Sadler, and EMT\/firefighter Kenny Lacayo. EMT\/firefighter John McMaster remains hospitalized on life support, with doctors closely monitoring his critical condition.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"899\" data-end=\"1260\">Together, these four heroes had dedicated 44 years of service to Baltimore\u2019s fire department. Mayor Brandon Scott expressed the city\u2019s profound gratitude, stating, \u201cBaltimore owes them the deepest gratitude and respect.\u201d Fire Chief Niles Ford, visibly emotional, called the fallen and injured firefighters family, promising to honor their bravery and sacrifice.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1262\" data-end=\"1568\">The firefighters had entered the vacant rowhouse to protect an adjacent occupied home from the fire, believing they could control the situation. Tragically, the building\u2019s partial collapse trapped them. Emergency crews managed to rescue one firefighter quickly, but it took over an hour to free two others.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1570\" data-end=\"1742\">Dr. Thomas Scalea of Maryland Shock Trauma revealed Sadler and Lacayo suffered cardiac arrests at the scene and could not be revived. McMaster\u2019s condition remains critical.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1744\" data-end=\"1892\">Lieutenant Butrim was known for his heroism, including saving a child from a fire in 2015, while Lacayo was a respected paramedic and top responder.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1894\" data-end=\"2211\">This rare loss highlights the dangers posed by Baltimore\u2019s roughly 16,000 vacant homes and has sparked calls for stronger safety reforms. As the city mourns, the legacy of these firefighters stands as a powerful reminder of the risks firefighters face and the need for urgent action to protect them and the community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baltimore Mourns Three Firefighters Lost in Tragic Vacant House Fire Baltimore is reeling after a devastating fire in a vacant home claimed the lives of three courageous&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":690,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
