On November 6, the Appellate Court of Maryland ruled in favor of the City of Greenbelt, the Greenbelt Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad (GVFD), the Town of Berwyn Heights, the City of College Park, and a Berwyn Heights resident in their challenge to Prince George’s County’s removal of career firefighters from Greenbelt and Berwyn Heights. The court heard the appeal on September 10 (see reporting in the September 17 issue) and on Friday ruled the circuit court had erred in dismissing the case, finding Greenbelt and the other plaintiffs have legal grounds to proceed.
The case will now return to the Circuit Court for further proceedings, though Greenbelt hopes they might reach an agreement with the Prince George’s County Fire Department’s legal team. “This favorable appellate decision is welcome news,” said City Manager Josué Salmerón on Monday. “It validates the position we have maintained from the beginning: we had legal standing to challenge this decision, and the County’s actions caused specific and substantial harm to our communities. The Court has now recognized that our claims deserve to be heard.”
