A Prince George’ County grand jury has indicted two firefighters on charges of arson in connection with a fire set at a vacant building in Riverdale in 2008, county State’s Attorney Glenn F. Ivey announced Oct. 5.
The firefighters are Jerome “Jerry” Engle, 46, of Bowie, a longtime volunteer firefighter with various volunteer departments in the county, and James R. Martinez, 24, of Damascus, a career firefighter with the Montgomery County Department of Fire and Rescue Services, Ivey said.
Engle and Martinez volunteered with the Riverdale Volunteer Fire Department at the time of the fire, said Prince George’s County Fire and EMS Department Chief Eugene Jones.
