Baltimore, Md - Oct. 13, 2024 - The fire that killed two firefighters in Northwest Baltimore has been ruled an accident, investigators say.
Back in October 2023, firefighters battled a blaze in the 5200 block of Linden Heights Avenue. The fire spread to multiple rowhomes in the area.
Firefighters Rodney Pitts III and Lt. Dillion Rinaldo were killed. Three other people were also injured.
Based on fire scene examination, physical evidence, witness statements, digital media, and a review of data, ATF determined the fire started on the first floor.
