Lt. Paul Butrim, firefighter/paramedic Kelsey Sadler, and EMT/firefighter Kenny Lacayo were killed when they became trapped in a vacant rowhome on South Stricker Street, on January 24, 2022.
A moment of silence was held at the Baltimore City fire headquarters Wednesday in their remembrance.
Their deaths were later ruled homicides, and the massive blaze was classified as incendiary.
Investigators are still seeking information about a person of interest seen in the area on surveillance footage.
