Two other firefighters were injured in the blaze that destroyed the entire structure
Nearly 24 hours after a firefighter went missing in a suburban New York assisted living home fire, his body has been found.
Rockland County volunteer firefighter Jared Lloyd was the second casualty in the blaze that gutted the Evergreen Court Home for Adults in Spring Valley early Tuesday, according to Rabbi Yisroel Kahan of the county’s Human Rights Commission. Lloyd was escorted to the Medical Examiner early Wednesday morning, Kahan said.
Officials say Lloyd was one of the first firefighters to arrive at the scene. He was on the third floor trying to put out the flames when he became disoriented and eventually trapped there. His body was found just before midnight Wednesday after a search crew with a rescue dog were unable to locate him Tuesday afternoon.
