Full Story	Volunteer Fire Chief Paul Johnson, who served 20 years to the Crow Roost Fire Department, passed away on May 19, 2010. Fire Chief Johnson passed away from an apparent heart attack while en route to a structure fire. Johnson was operating the department's pumper when he became ill and asked Fire Captain Cheri Poindexter, who was riding in the cab with him, to take the wheel as he slumped over and became unresponsive. Poindexter managed to get the rig stopped and immediately called a Mayday over the radio. Another Crow Roost apparatus, also responding to the incident, stopped to render aid with an AED they had on board. The firefighters worked on Chief Johnson for 20 minutes until a Carnegie Ambulance arrived and subsequently transported Johnson to the Carnegie Hospital where he succumbed to his injury.
