Dr. Thomas Scalea of Maryland Shock Trauma revealed that Sadler and Lacayo suffered cardiac arrests at the fire scene, proving unrecoverable. McMaster remains on life support, with the potential for worsening injuries. Scalea stressed the vigilant monitoring of his condition.
Despite the valiant efforts of these firefighters, the severity of the blaze proved overwhelming. Fire Chief Niles Ford explained their decision to enter the vacant rowhouse, citing an adjacent occupied home that needed protection. The determination was made believing they could control and extinguish the fire.
Lt. Paul Butrim’s history of heroism, notably saving a child from a burning apartment in 2015, showcases the dedication these firefighters had to their duty. Kenny Lacayo, remembered as a top responder and exceptional paramedic, leaves a void that resonates among fellow volunteers.
This tragic event stands as a rarity for Baltimore, which hadn’t experienced a firefighter loss since 2014. The incident raises concerns about vacant properties, a persistent challenge in a city with approximately 16,000 vacant homes. Calls for reforms and preventative measures become crucial to avoid such devastating incidents.
