A firefighter/EMT with the Paint Creek Joint EMS/Fire District lost his life Sunday after an accident at the district’s station near Rainsboro. Early Monday morning, Paint Creek released the name of the victim, firefighter/EMT Joe Patterson. “It is with deepest sympathies that we have been informed that our brother has been called home and answered his final alarm and did not survive the injuries inflicted by the accident,” said public information office Branden Jackman in an earlier press release. Jackman said the firefighter/EMT was working with compressed air cylinders when he was critically injured by one of these cylinders. He was transferred to Kettering Medical Center via MedFlight helicopter.
