Raymond Simonis 3rd responded to a mutual aid call for a structure fire at 11:48 AM on Tuesday 12/18/07. Upon arrival, he was staged outside until asked to assist on the 2nd floor to track down an odor of smoke. As part of a crew, he proceeded to the 2nd floor and successfully located the source of the fire. Companies were in service for approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Later that evening, he was having shortness of breath, a cough but no chest pains. His wife called 911 and Ray was transported by EMS to the trauma hospital. When being transferred from the ambulance stretcher to the ER table, he coded and was unsuccessfully revived by the ER Team.
