When Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon last week announced her disciplinary actions in the Baltimore City Fire Department stemming from the death of fire recruit Racheal Wilson, she singled out 19 firefighters to receive the blame.
“There were at least 19 firefighters assisting with the burn, at least half of them experienced, veteran firefighters,” Dixon said. “… None of these members stepped up when they knew things weren?t right. Nobody said anything. And maybe if someone had … Wilson would be alive today.”
