Coliseum Health System CEO Allen Golson was alive and talking to his wife Friday in the moments after the twin-engine airplane he was piloting crash-landed in Florida. "We could see him, but we couldn’t get him out,” off-duty firefighter Caleb Munden said by phone Monday. “You couldn’t see a whole lot with the fire extinguishers and the smoke from the fire. ... Right as we got to him, the fire extinguishers ran out and the flames started coming in on us.” Munden, 27, who is also a paramedic for the Marion County Fire Department, was driving near Ocala International Airport just after noon on Friday when he saw smoke in a field south of the runway.
