On September 8th 2011 Harrisburg River Rescue was displaced from the building that housed the organization’s apparatus, equipment, offices and banquet facilities during the flood from Tropical Storm Lee. At this time the building has been condemned for the foreseeable future. Proceeds from this event go to Harrisburg River Rescue Building Fund
