AN EMT VIEWS some of the backboards in use at a New Jersey gathering of ambulance services, including the Vergennes Area Rescue Squad, that came from out of state last week to help the Garden State recover from Hurricane Sandy. EMTs signed each others’ boards to serve as a memorabilia once the services returned home.
VERGENNES — At 6 p.m. on Nov. 6, one week after Superstorm Sandy devastated long stretches of the Eastern seaboard, a convoy of seven Vermont ambulance crews left the Green Mountain State bound for New Jersey.
The convoy, which included personnel from Vergennes Area Rescue Squad (VARS), responded to a call made in anticipation of a second storm, which on Nov. 7 hit stretches of coast already crippled by the hurricane with more wind, rain and snow.
Some towns in New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts lost power for a second time.
