Today, on Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. We also remember the families who carry that sacrifice every day — spouses, children, parents, siblings, and friends whose lives were forever changed.
Their courage, loss, and resilience deserve remembrance and gratitude.

The Truro Township Fire Department honors the life and legacy of former Fire Chief James “Jim” Sharps, who dedicated 30 years of faithful service to our community. Retired Chief Sharps passed away on Friday, May 15th.

Chief Sharps began his career with Truro Township in 1977, rising through the ranks with unwavering commitment—promoted to Lieutenant in 1984, Assistant Chief in 1995, and ultimately serving as Fire Chief from 1996 to 2007.

Throughout his distinguished career, Chief Sharps was known for his dedication not only to the department, but to the firefighters he mentored and inspired, including our current Fire Chief, Chase Bryan. Many remember him for his genuine connection to the crews—often stopping by the station on weekend mornings to share coffee and conversation with the crews. His leadership left a lasting impact, including his instrumental role in the construction of Station 162 on Livingston Avenue and his passion for training the next generation as an instructor with the Ohio Fire Academy.

His legacy of service continued through his son, Jeff Sharps, who also served as Fire Chief for Truro Township from 2018-2025. A testament to the family’s enduring commitment to the fire service and community service.

We are deeply grateful for Chief Sharps’ decades of leadership, mentorship, and dedication. His contributions will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace, Chief Sharps. Your watch has ended.

The process helps clear the water lines of particulates that may build up over time. Our dedicated crews also check the hydrants and valves for any operational issues, ensuring the hydrants are in good working order.
