About

Lloyd Edwards' Meets Battalion Chief Davis

I spoke with Lloyd Edwards at his home in Roxborough. Lloyd entered the Philadelphia Fire Department in 1960 and retired in 1988. When he became a firefighter he had not heard of Engine 11 or Captain Davis. One of his fellow fireman, Walt Johnson, told him a few stories about Captain Davis and Engine 11. He didn't know it at the time, 1962-63, but he was about to have a personal introduction to now Battalion Chief Davis.
