Prince George's County fire and EMS personnel are mourning the loss of a colleague.
Firefighter/Paramedic Demair Lloyd, 44, had just finished his regular 24-hour shift and was at home when he experienced a medical emergency.
He had been with the department since 2006, serving in Calverton, according to a statement from Prince George's County Fire/EMS.
"He was not only a valued teammate but also a dear friend, and his absence is deeply felt by all of us in our fire department family," officials wrote.
