On Sunday, November 8, 2020, Firefighter Johnny Ivison, Jr., 23, was responding to a call of a residential fire in Easton, Kansas, in his privately owned vehicle, a Chevrolet Silverado Truck, when the vehicle went off the road. Firefighter Ivison attempted to correct his path, but overcorrected causing the truck to roll over numerous times, ejecting him from the vehicle. He died from the injuries sustained in the crash.
Our condolences to the Ivison Family & Friends, Easton Township Fire Department , and to all affected by Firefighter Johnny Ivison, Jr.'s passing.
