Prince George's County honors fallen firefighter Demair Lloyd at service
Demair Lloyd, a 44-year-old PGFD firefighter-paramedic from Station 841 in Calverton, was honored after dying following a 24-hour shift.
Prince George’s County Fire/EMS Department gathered to honor Firefighter/Paramedic Demair Lloyd, a 44-year-old veteran medic whose death has shaken Station 841 in Calverton and the department he served for nearly two decades. Lloyd had been with Prince George’s County Fire/EMS since 2006, building a career that colleagues and county officials described as steady, committed public service.
Lloyd died after finishing a regular 24-hour shift and suffering a medical emergency at home at the end of May. Published reports said he died on May 30, 2026, and the cause of death had not been publicly confirmed. A public funeral notice listed his service for June 12 at Riverdale Ministries, with livestream information posted by Prince George’s County for people unable to attend in person.
The loss reached beyond one station. Lloyd was assigned to Station 841 in Calverton, where his long tenure made him a familiar presence to crews and, over time, to the neighborhoods that rely on Prince George’s County firefighters and paramedics for emergency response. Department and trade coverage described him as a valued teammate and longtime public servant, a description that carries added weight inside Fire/EMS ranks, where experience often shapes how a shift runs and how a crew handles the most difficult calls.
Gov. Wes Moore ordered the Maryland flag lowered to half-staff in Lloyd’s honor, a formal gesture that underscored the reach of the loss across state and local government. The department also said it was supporting Lloyd’s wife, Maria, who is also a member of PGFD, as arrangements were made for the funeral and public tribute.
For Prince George’s County Fire/EMS, Lloyd’s death marked the loss of a veteran responder who spent almost 20 years on the job and represented the kind of institutional knowledge departments depend on during emergencies. In Calverton and across the county, his service left a concrete legacy: a firefighter-paramedic who showed up for shifts, answered calls and helped hold a demanding system together.
