WINDBER, SOMERSET COUNTY--- Volunteer firefighters with the Scalp-Level Paint Fire Department remember John Polimine.

Polimine died after suffering a fatal stress induced heart attack.  He was taking part in a fire training exercise at the Cambria County Fire School.

Fellow firefighters said Polimine was a dedicated member and always had a way to make people laugh.

“He had this smile and was always telling jokes about something- he was a fun guy,” said Captain Marty Washko.
