Lloyd, a member of Columbian Fire Engine Co. No. 1, on West Street in Spring Valley, went missing in the flames. Fellow firefighters searched for him for hours Tuesday before his body was found early Wednesday.
The fire could be seen from the New York State Thruway and drew crews from nearly every one of the county’s 26 all-volunteer fire departments, and from New Jersey.
Rockland County Fire Coordinator Chris Kear said 20 residents were hospitalized, a figure that was later corrected to fewer than a dozen. Two firefighters were taken to Westchester Medical Center: One was released; the other was admitted for smoke-inhalation symptoms. A resident later died at another area hospital.
