Mayor Brandon Scott of Baltimore said Monday evening that the hospitalized firefighter was in critical condition and “fighting for his life.”
“Baltimore has lost three of the bravest among us,” Mr. Scott said. “This is a gut wrenching tragedy for our city, for our Fire Department, and most importantly, for the families of our firefighters. There are no words — none — to describe the pain and the severity of the losses that we suffered today.”
The three firefighters who died were Lt. Paul Butrim, who had been with the department for 16 years; Kelsey Sadler, a 15-year department veteran; and Kenny Lacayo, who had been with the department for seven years, city officials said.
The hospitalized firefighter, John McMaster, who was on life support on Monday evening, has been with the department for six years, city officials said.
James Sadler, Ms. Sadler’s father-in-law, described Ms. Sadler as a “lovely woman” whom he loved like a daughter.
