Owensville’s Ronnie Cox: Clermont County’s Shortest Firefighter
Ronnie Cox, Owensville’s firefighter since 1972, is noted as Clermont County’s shortest and possibly Ohio’s. Raised by fire chief dad George and friend Steve Handra, he faced height barriers, proved himself with a driver’s license, and climbed ladders on trucks. Despite mockery, he trained hard, rode the back of trucks on rare days, and even faced amusement at Kings Island rides. Now laid off, he remains a symbol of perseverance with a storied early life and vaudeville ancestry.
