According to Jim Johnson, a member of IAFF Local F-88 (Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Fire Department), longtime member Harold Sparks died Saturday, January 17.  It appears Sparks may have had a medical emergency while driving his personal vehicle on Ohio State Route 68. The car suddenly veered across lanes and struck a telephone pole.

F-85 extends its condolences to Captain Sparks' loved ones, as well as his fire service family.
