LITTLE SIOUX, Iowa (AP) - New York City firefighters will travel to western Iowa next month to help rebuild a Boy Scout camp that was destroyed by a deadly tornado.

The Little Sioux Scout Ranch was destroyed June 11, 2008, when the storm hit. Four Boy Scouts died, including three from Omaha, Neb. Nearly 50 others were injured.

Volunteers have rebuilt the camp, which was rededicated earlier this year. The new buildings are able to withstand winds up to 250 mph.

The New York firefighters will erect a chapel at the camp and assist with other rebuilding efforts on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
