Many people outside the NYC Metro area don't know that there are 9 volunteer departments inside NYC. They include, Metropolitan Fire Association, Aviation Hose 3 (Recently shut down by FDNY), Edgewater Park VFD, Gerritsen Beach VFD, West Hamilton Beach VFD, Broad Channel VFD, Roxbury VFD, Rockaway Point VFD, Point Breeze VFD, Oceanic H&L Co. 1 and Richmond Engine Co. 1. Many of the departments have donated apparatus, to replace apparatus lost in Hurricane Sandy.
