ROSE HILL, Kan. — This weekend has been a rough one for firefighters from Rose Hill. After fighting two grass fires, they found out one of their own was in critical condition. Jason Johnson, 28, died Saturday evening from an unknown medical condition.

His wife, Jennifer, remembers a husband who never stopped talking about the fire department and never went anywhere without wearing one of his Butler County Fire District #3 T-shirts.

Johnson also leaves behind a 4-year-old son, Trevor. Jennifer said she's praying their son doesn't forget his dad. "This morning, the first things out of his mouth were, Is God bringing Daddy back?"
