The Maryland Department of Emergency Management (MDEM) announced that for the first time in its 225 year history, the entire Baltimore City Fire Department went out of service.
In an incredible feat, units from all corners of Maryland & D.C., covered calls so every Baltimore City Fire Department Member could attend the Memorial Service on Wednesday, February 2, 2022.
“It has been so amazing to see all of the departments, volunteer and career, that have been checking in at Baltimore City fire stations this morning as they stand by for today’s memorial services for BCFD’s EMT/Firefighter Kenny Lacayo, Lt. Paul Butrim, and Lt. Kelsey Sadler.”
The Ed Reed Foundation is hoping to raise $25,000 to support Baltimore City Firefighters and Fallen Firefighters Families as they mourn the loss of three of their colleagues and friends.
