Rebuilding After Catastrophe: Inside the Engine That’s a Symbol of Recovery

Subscribe at:    / @heroesnextdoor  . In this week’s episode of Station Rigs, Mike travels to New York to visit the Broad Channel Volunteer Fire Department — a proud company serving Broad Channel Island since 1906. Located within the city limits, this small but mighty department continues to thrive through dedication, tradition, and heart. These volunteers prove that true service isn’t about call volume — it’s about community. Special thanks to Operations Chief Ed Wilmarth for giving us a tour of their engine — one of the rigs replaced after Hurricane Sandy's devastation, when the department lost nearly everything and had to rebuild from the ground up, including their fleet and station.
