Monday, November 5, 2012  For just about a week now members from the FEMA MDTF-1 team from Montgomery County Fire and Rescue have been deployed to the areas in New York and New Jersey that were affected by Hurricane Sandy.  They have been performing welfare checks and searches in some of the hardest hit areas by the hurricane.  Take a look at some photos of our team as they are deploying from Joint Base McGuire-Dix in Lakehurst, NJ to Staten Island, NY.
