By MYFOXATLANTA STAFF

A fire truck from the Roswell Fire Department is being donated to a New York town devastated by superstorm Sandy.

The volunteer fire department in Park Island, N.Y. lost an ambulance, two vehicles and thousands of dollars of equipment during the storm.

The station was also flooded with six feet of water.

Roswell's city council approved the donation of the red engine earlier this week.
