Sandy Hits

Sadly, like many of our neighbors, our building was destroyed in Superstorm Sandy. With the help of Fire Departments from throughout New York State, who sent trucks and personnel, we were able to continue to assist the community during and after the storm.

2012 - Ongoing

Rebuilding

We have continued to serve Oceanside and after 10 Years, South Side Hose Co 2's building is still not fully rebuilt. Our Members, with the support from our community and partners, are getting closer to completing the rebuilding process.
