Don Johnson, Valley Springs Fire and Rescue chief and owner of Valley Springs Body Shop, poses for a portrait on Wednesday, April 15, 2015, in his office at his body shop in Valley Springs, S.D. Steven Ackerman, a Valley Springs Fire and Rescue volunteer firefighter, died on Sunday responding to a house fire that also claimed the life of the homeowner, David Smith. "Every time we go on a call--I'll be real honest--he's probably riding in the truck between us he just ain't talking," Johnson said about Ackerman, "we'll carry him in our hearts forever."
