FDNY Breaks Ground on New Firehouse in Rockaway Park

Nearly 13 years after Superstorm Sandy devastated the Rockaways, the FDNY has broken ground on a new $40 million state-of-the-art firehouse.

The new firehouse will replace the one on Beach 116th Street that was damaged beyond repair by the storm surge.

“Today, we break ground on a new firehouse that represents resilience, progress, and a commitment to protecting the people of the Rockaways,”

said FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker at the groundbreaking ceremony.

The ceremony was attended by New York City officials and Council Member Joann Ariola at the future home of Engine Company 268/Ladder Company 137.
