Settlement Reached in Firefighter’s Death
Frederick County (Maryland) reached a $300,000 settlement in the death of Andrew J. Waybright, a firefighter who died of heatstroke in 2002 while training for a full-time position with the county. His parents filed a wrongful death suit against the county after the 23-year old died, claiming the county was negligent by not identifying their son’s symptoms. In addition to the settlement, the training center will include a memorial for the firefighter.
