Fire Department Response Hindered by Unplowed Port Jefferson Station Streets
It took a little help from residents on quads, sleds, shovels and with four-wheel drive vehicles, but firefighters from Terryville Fire Department and local EMS workers were able to get to those in need of assistance during the blizzard, according to a department spokesperson.
Faced with impassable snow-packed streets, first responders – often working long overnight shifts at the height of the storm – had to get inventive.
"We had to think out of the box," said Dennis Whittam, a spokesperson for the Terryville Fire Department.
