The impact he had on many lives will forever live on. May he now rest peacefully. Capt you made this place a better world. We got it from here.

It is with great sadness that we announce the Line of Duty Death of Retired Fire Captain William “Luto” Lutostanski Jr. on February 17, 2026, following a courageous battle with cancer.

Captain Lutostanski proudly served Baltimore County for 26 years. Throughout his distinguished career, he rose through the ranks from EMT/Firefighter to Fire Captain. He retired on February 5, 2026, concluding more than two decades of honorable service to the Baltimore County Fire Department.

His leadership, dedication, and commitment to service leave a lasting legacy on our department and the community he faithfully protected.

We extend our condolences to the Lutostanski family, and the many members of our department who knew and worked with him. Please keep them and each other in your thoughts during this difficult time.

Brenbrook Hook & Hose ™️ responded to Westviews first due for the report of a kitchen fire. E-13 went on scene with a 3 story garden style nothing evident. 13 stretched to the top floor due to reports of active fire and people trapped on the 3rd.

E-41 arrived side Charlie with smoke showing from Div 2. 41 stretched to the second floor via ladder. When 41s crew went to knock the fire due to a hole in the hose from the window sash there was a loss of pressure. Therefore crews were met with a rapid decline in interior conditions, ultimately forcing 2 crew members to bail out head first down the ladder.

T-18 arrived side Charlie and assisted vertical vent as well as searches on Div 2. T-18 step man was able to extinguish what was left of the fire with 41’s compromised line.

Brenbrook Hose ™️ along with 13’s officer assisted a resident from the 3rd floor via ladder.

Everyone made it out safe. Crews members that were transported to the hospital are well and making a good recovery.

Strong work again by the 2nd Battalion when things could have been really bad.
