Spring Valley, NY – Senator Elijah Reichlin-Melnick, Assemblyman Ken Zebrowski and Assemblyman Michael Lawler, joined by the family of Jared Lloyd and Fire Department members, announced plans to rename a section of Route 45 in memory of the fallen firefighter. Legislation introduced this week by the lawmakers will designate Route 45 between New Hempstead Road and East Eckerson Road as “Jared Lloyd Memorial Highway.”
“Jared Lloyd is a hero for being one of the first on the scene at the Evergreen Court Adult Home fire and helping save the lives of over 100 residents. He made the ultimate sacrifice, and preserving his memory by renaming a major road in his honor is one of the best ways we can honor his heroic actions. When people drive along Route 45, they will always be reminded of that tragic day and the heroism of Firefighter Jared Lloyd,” said Senator Reichlin-Melnick.
“Last year our community suffered the tragic loss of Jared Lloyd when he gave his life helping to save those in harm's way. As a firefighter for over 15 years he gave back so much to our community, and his heroic actions helped save the lives of so many residents on that day. We must never forget his sacrifice, and by joining together to name this section of Route 45 after him, we will ensure that his legacy lives on,” said Assemblyman Zebrowski.
“Jared Lloyd's heroic actions last March helped save the lives of over 100 nursing home residents. His loss has had a tremendous impact not only on his family, but on our entire community, county, and state. I'm proud to support this effort to ensure his heroism is never forgotten by enshrining his name on this portion of State Route 45,” said Assemblyman Lawler.
Jared Lloyd, a member of Columbian Fire Engine Co. No. 1 in Spring Valley for over 15 years, died during the rescue effort at the Evergreen Court Home for Adults fire on March 23, 2021 as he was attempting to save residents of the facility.
