Gov. Larry Hogan has announced the State of Maryland will double its reward for information about a person of interest in Monday’s fire in Baltimore where three firefighters died. The reward was first announced by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Baltimore Field Division earlier this week.

The state is immediately doubling the reward for information about a person of interest in the fatal fire that led to the deaths of three firefighters to $100,000. Anyone with tips or information should contact federal or state authorities.

“As we continue to mourn our fallen heroes, we are conducting an aggressive investigation into the cause of the fire that took their lives,” Hogan said.“ In coordination with our federal and local partners, the state is immediately doubling the reward for information in the case to $100,000. We urge anyone with tips or information regarding the person of interest to contact federal or state authorities.”

Four firefighters were battling a blaze in a vacant Baltimore row home Monday when the three-story building partially collapsed, trapping them. Three firefighters died and a fourth was recently released from the University of Maryland Medical Center’s Shock Trauma Center.
