Spring Valley Firefighter Jared Lloyd made the ultimate sacrifice on March 23, 2021 while heroically rescuing elderly residents during a massive blaze at an assisted living facility in Spring Valley.

Residents lined up on the roads of the funeral procession to pay their respects to Lloyd. The Red Knights, a motorcycle group made up of firefighters lined both sides of the street in Hillcrest to give a final salute to a fallen brother.

We will never forget Jared Lloyd’s sacrifice to our county and community. Simply stated, Rockland County was a better place because of Jared Lloyd, and he will be forever remembered as a hero.

Recently, a resident posted this picture of a large black rat snake at Congers Lake. Town staff was sent to identify and locate it and the photo was sent to the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation experts who identified it as an extremely large native black rat snake. According to the DEC these snakes average three to five feet but can grow to as large as eight feet. It is not venomous and poses NO harm to people. It is prime season to see them as they emerge from hibernation and the temperature is still cool out. They feed on mice, voles, small birds and eggs etc.
If you see this snake or others like it just give it space, they will be slower this time of year due to weather and will pose no harm to any residents. If you have any questions related to wildlife please call DEC region 3 general wildlife line 845-256-3098.
