July 16, 2022
The Adams Area Fire District, Butler County Station 42, regrets to announce the passing of Vice President and Life Member James “Jimmy” M. Ellis, Jr., aged 49, after a recent illness. Jimmy joined our parent organization, Mars Volunteer Fire Company, in 1990 as a teenage junior member. Except for being away for a tour in the Air National Guard, he remained an active member ever since. He served in line officer and executive board positions over the years. Jimmy grew up in Mars and his family lineage in Adams Area and Mars fire companies runs deep – his late father and grandfather were both members, and a great uncle was a Charter Member of MVFC. Additionally, as his career, Jimmy was a Captain with the Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire, serving there some 23 years.
