Fundraiser set to honor fallen Baltimore City firefighter Lt. Mark Dranbauer on Sunday

The Baltimore community is coming together on Sunday, June 1, for a fundraiser in memory of fallen firefighter Lt. Mark Dranbauer.

The event, hosted and put on by Jimmy's Famous Seafood, will raise money for Lt. Dranbauer's family.

Lt. Dranbauer died on Friday, May 16, days after he suffered a medical emergency while battling a fire on West Saratoga Street. The 44-year-old was approximately 30 to 40 feet off the ground when he fell backward down a ladder. He remained on the aerial ladder, where he was helped off and taken to a hospital.

Lt. Dranbauer served the Baltimore City Fire Department for 23 years. He is expected to save 70 lives after donating his organs, according to medical officials.
