Can anyone tell me if they know if Broad Channel VFD is one of those departments operating with the knowledge/approval of FDNY?

Broad Channel lost at least one rig that I know of. I just got online yesterday. I got out of work Wednesday morning after working pretty much non stop from Sunday Morning til Tuesday AM. Then another 18 hour tour Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday Morning. We did 22,000 plus alarms between 0001 Monday to 2359 Tuesday. I cannot be prouder of the people I work with, and the Emergency Communications folks in the area. We got power back in Port Jervis sometime yesterday. I got home last night and all is well here. It is a mess out there obviously. Thoughts and Prayers for all who lost something or everything. I'll be back to work Monday.
