Oceanport First Aid and Rescue Squad

NEW JERSEY (MYFOXNY.COM)
September 2, 2013
Among the first responder groups to step in during Superstorm Sandy was the Oceanport First Aid and Rescue Squad in Oceanport, New Jersey.
It's been 9 months since Superstorm Sandy struck our region. The vicious storm caused a quarter million dollars
to the building and ambulances that house the Oceanport First Aid and Rescue Squad. Even though the insurance and town budget has kicked in, the group still needs help.
Fred Filippone, the captain of the volunteer first aid squad, said that in his 37 years with the squad he has never seen something like Sandy, a storm that he and his crew are still feeling the effects of.
Carol Connor has seen the place in its heyday when things were running smoothly. But since the storm, she said the first aid squad is struggling to get fully back up and running.
Squad workers say their first priority is to have their ambulances running well. When one goes out for service repairs because of Sandy-related damage, they just hope it won't be long until it returns.
The organization is asking for donations to support their continued efforts:

BUILDING RE-CONSTRUCTION UNDERWAY
Members of the Oceanport First Aid Squad and the Building and Grounds committee have begun reparations to the building. Members are working hard to clean up the damage, repair the walls and floors, and restore the building so that we can resume our operations as normal.
In the meantime, we still are fully capable of responding to any emergency as our ambulances ae still in working order. We have also moved our monthly meetings to our upstairs classroom so that we can also maintain the logistics of the first aid squad.
Any and all donations will help our efforts to restore the building. Please send to our mailing address at:
