Sandy Van Epilogue

The Sandy Van

Today we say farewell to our beloved ’98 Ford Van we have affectionately dubbed the “Sandy Van”. She got her nickname shortly after she appeared on our doorstep late in 2012.

  Arriving all the way from Fullerton CA under the direction of SERVPRO of East Fullerton/ Placentia, on her own feet, and alongside much newer vehicles, she immediately began service assisting during Superstorm Sandy cleanup, never missing a beat.

  Prior to her service in NJ, Sandy has seen many years of service on the west coast assisting many communities recovering from wildfire and other natural disasters.

   Fearing she would not make the return trip to Fullerton, we adopted Sandy, where she continued cleanup service here for more than 3 years assisting our community through Polar Vortex Events, a Derecho, Flooding from Heavy Rains and Nor’easters.

  This fall, at the end of her service here, Sandy will be taken to be recycled, but not before a picture is mounted on our wall in her honor. Help us celebrate the retirement of a lady and say farewell to Sandy!
