Early on Saturday in Far Rockaway, a coastal area of New York City devastated by the storm surge, more than 500 people lined up with empty fuel cans.
Word had spread Friday night that a tanker truck carrying 8,000 gallons of free gasoline was to arrive around 10am.
The fuel was delivered under the auspices of the Fuel Relief Fund and apparently funded by an anonymous donor.
‘The guy didn’t want his name used, but he wanted to get gas to these people,’ said a New York Police Department captain, who declined to give his name because he was not authorized to speak to the media. ‘Pretty decent thing to do,’ he said. ‘These people need it bad.’
