Funeral services for Baltimore City firefighter Lt. Mark Dranbauer Jr. will be held Saturday, according to the Baltimore City Fire Department.

Dranbauer, 44, “suffered a medical emergency” from atop a ladder — about 40 to 50 feet off the ground — while responding to a fire in the 200 block of West Saratoga Street on May 12. Dranbauer fell backward on the ladder and was later taken to Shock Trauma, where he was initially listed in critical condition. Officials have not said what the medical emergency was.

Dranbauer, a 23-year veteran of the department, was later put on life support. He was removed from life support on May 18 and, after donating his organs, Dranbauer was taken from Shock Trauma to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, according to the Baltimore Fire Officers IAFF Local 964. A lineup for honors was held at Poppleton Avenue near Shock Trauma.

The Baltimore City Fire Department announced a viewing for Dranbauer will be held Friday at Schimunek Funeral Home in Bel Air from 3 p.m. until 9 p.m. The funeral service is being held the following day at Mountain Christian Church in Joppa at 11 a.m.

The department said that Dranbauer served “with courage, honor, and unwavering commitment” on Engine Company 5, which is based at the Roman A. Kaminski Fire Station in Southeast Baltimore.

Dranbauer’s “leadership, compassion, and dedication to his fellow firefighters and the community will never be forgotten,” the department said.

Earlier that week on May 16, Charles Mudra, a 17-year department veteran, died after he “suffered a catastrophic medical emergency” during a skills assessment at the BCFD’s training academy, the department said in a statement. He was immediately given life support measures on-scene before being transported to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 10:42 a.m., according to the department.
