The post-incident analysis obtained by The Frederick News-Post identifies several deficiencies and mistakes with respect to directions and firefighter accountability during the Jan. 31 fire in the 3900 block of Highland Avenue.
Sisters Madigan Grace Lillard, 3, and Sophie Paige Lillard, 6, died of smoke inhalation in the blaze. Four other members of the Lillard family were hospitalized, including 8-year-old Morgan Lillard, who spent eight days in a burn unit at Children's National Medical Center in Washington before being released Feb. 8.

I'm glad you posted this. This same crap goes on in the Salisbury Fire Department. Poor leadership.
What a waste of men and equipment . My heroes BS
That poor leadership will become more entrenched now that the boy mayor will be staying. Hoppes may be a nice guy on the surface but he actually tears-up and crys when there is a difficult decision to make. Acting like a fire chief and actually being a fire chief are two different things. So sad for the SFD and citizens.
Did any commenters read the whole article?
