A former assistant chief of a NJ fire department died of an apparent heart attack after responding to an incident.

Paul Price Sr., 63, went to the Audubon fire station on Aug. 10 for a call. Since the apparatus had already left, he stayed behind. Later, he helped colleagues put it back in service, the USFA reported.

Price, the department's safety officer, attended an emergency management meeting that evening. 

The following morning, his family discovered he had passed away.

Price retired as deputy chief in Camden City, NJ.
