A snowy day in 1960 claimed the life of one of our own. Our thoughts are with his family and our fire department family as they remember Nelson Walker who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our community.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share with you the passing of Life Time Member, Mary Jane Marine (“MJ”) To say that she kept things running is an understatement. Her dedication to our organization and the fire department can not be matched. The big kid in her enjoyed the carnival the most. Preparing the cook tent for 21 nights with her encouragement to our members that we would make it to the end.
Mary Jane you get to rest easy now we will take it from here with your memory to keep us going.

We remember you today and everyday.
Let us honor your memory and sacrifice by showing compassion and kindness to all, including a stranger, in our actions and words.
It is not what is said or done, but the warmth a person feels.

Honoring & Remembering Maryland Fallen Heroes.
Sharptown V.F.D. ~ Wicomico County ~ Maryland

November 10,1996
It was nearing midnight on Saturday November 9,1996 .
Sharptown VFD Firefighter Steve Trice and his fiancé Jennifer were traveling on Jersey Road when they happened upon a single vehicle mva with multiple ejections, car on its roof in the roadway, multiple teen age victims, including a female victim who had been ejected and landed in a ravine off the shoulder of the road. FF Trice got into the ravine to render care while Jennifer went for help. Soon, the headlights of another vehicle were seen coming towards the accident, a work van, whose driver was unaware he was approaching an accident.
Suddenly, the driver of the work van saw the car on its roof and slammed on his brakes. The work van skidded sideways and came to rest on the shoulder of the road next to the ravine where FF Trice was rendering aid to the injured girl. The driver got out of the van and went to help one of the other accident victims in the roadway.
Suddenly, the shoulder of the road, where the van had come to a stop, collapsed & the 6 ton work van fell into the ravine.
Tragically, Firefighter Trice & the female victim were both fatally injured.
Firefighter Trice grew up learning about serving the public & the good works of a volunteer fire department from his family & the members of the Blades VFD where his father was Assistant Chief. Firefighter Trice joined the United States Navy and upon his return to the Eastern Shore he joined the Sharptown VFD where he was serving at the time of his Line Of Duty Death.
Firefighter Donald Steven Trice Jr. , a United States Navy Veteran, was 23 years old and had served in the Fire/EMS service for 2 ½ years.

Today our membership lost a one of a kind lady full of whit and sass. Betty Wheatley was a Lifetime Member Full of support doing anything from making bingo subs, chicken cleaning for dinners, getting desserts ready to serving our delicious soft crab sandwiches at the Carnival. She was quick to show a new young member the ways of the kitchen tasks and give advice on the ways if the world. Ms Betty you will certainly be missed!!!
