Baltimore City Council To Hold Hearings With Fire Department

BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore Fire Department leaders will be summoned before the city council as part of increased scrutiny about its operations.
Councilman and public safety committee chair Brandon Scott tells The Baltimore Sun the hearing is “a direct response to citizen complaints about the Fire Department and service.” It comes in the wake of an aging firetruck catching fire and warnings from the firefighters’ union about the agency’s emergency readiness.
