Before the superstorm, the crew moved one ambulance from the beach town, which is below sea level, to “higher ground” at the Rockwood Park Jewish Center on 84th Street. It survived, but sustained some damage. The other truck was not salvageable. After floods ravaged West Hamilton Beach, the roughly 45-man department received ambulance donations from Long Island and has since been operating status-quo with two ambulances. But now, more safety and security has been delivered with the brand new rigs, upping West Hamilton Beach’s ambulance count to four. “This will be a help to the community like everything else,” said Jonah Cohen, the department’s fire chief. Now, the emergency crew can work without worry of a vehicle breaking down, Cohen said. “They’re first responders who are in a unique, isolated area,” Addabbo said. “When there’s any kind of emergency, severe storm, everyone looks to them. I’m speechless by the work they do here.” The fire department needs two ambulances to operate efficiently. They will primarily use the new vehicles, keep one for back-up and donate the last to another volunteer fire department. “To get two rigs that could help in a life-endangering situation, this is a life-changer,” Addabbo said.
