To the rescue: NJ community receives coastal restoration project


Story by January 12, 2024 at 01:31PM In the fall of 2012, Superstorm Sandy devastated the East Coast of the United States, including the State of New Jersey. Firefighter Paul Kerwin remembers he and his company rescuing his fellow Borough of Union Beach, New Jersey neighbors on that day, “Sandy was quite an experience. We worked round the clock, pulling people out from their flooded homes that were submerged in almost 10 feet of water. I remember a house actually coming off its foundation and floating across a creek and a shed lifting off the ground and drifting down a road with a man standing on its roof. We saved him and did about 200 rescues that night.”
