Sad: Chicago Fireman Killed In Blaze

From the Chicago Tribune:
"An all around great guy and great fireman" died Friday night after an extra-alarm blaze spread quickly through a Gage Park home, apparently trapping crews in a flashover fire.
Capt. Herbert Johnson, a 32-year veteran of the Chicago Fire Department just promoted last summer, died and another firefighter was injured in the blaze on the 2300 block of West 50th Place.
Johnson suffered second- and third-degree burns in a fire and was taken the University of Chicago Medical Center, while a second firefighter, who was in good condition tonight, was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn for treatment, officals said.Johnson is survived by his wife, Susan, one daughter and two sons, Fire Commissioner Jose Santiago said in remarks outside the U. of C. tonight. One son is in college and the other in the U.S. Marine Corps. 
"This fire is under investigation and our main concern right now is the family," Santiago said, choking back tears....
Tom Ryan, president of Local 2 of the Chicago Fire Fighters Union, was in tears as he addressed the media, telling reporters that "we lost a piece of our heart and our soul today."
"Herbie is everything the Chicago Fire Department is about. He's a shining example of what public service is," said Ryan. "We're at a loss of words."
Soon afterwards, a throng of Chicago fire and police vehicles escorted an ambulance carrying Johnson's body to the Cook County medical examiner's office. Firefighters lining the route saluted as the procession went by. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-extraalarm-response-for-south-side-fire-20121102,0,7561587.story?page=1&ref=profile_open_graph&fb_source=timeline_og&fb_action_ids=10151247304154940&fb_action_types=og.recommends&fb_aggregation_id=288381481237582&refid=17
Being a firefighter in Chicago is not what it is like when you watch "Chicago Fire" or "Backdraft".  It's a dangerous job, even though the fire wasn't that big when the firefighters first got there.
Hopefully, Chicago Fire will say something about Captain Johnson in one of their upcoming shows.
R.I.P. Captain Johnson and prayers to your family, fellow firefighters and friends.
