It may be Super Bowl Sunday, but WBNG-TV is broadcasting as different sport. The 6th Annual Firemen’s Association of the State of New York Winter Games is occurring this weekend at Greek Peak in Virgil, New York:
“The fire service works very hard three hundred and sixty five, sixty four days a year and we take this weekend off and have a time to meet and greet each other,” said David Jacobowitz, President of FASNY.
More than 300 firefighters have shown up from all over New York State and forty six teams showing their strength, team-work, skills and having a great time.
“I would say it strengthens morale wise, the competition wise it brings us together as a team and same as fighting a fire, everybody works together,” said Hampton Bays Firefighter, John Tedesco.
Jacobowitz says it’s important to allow firefighters to have this time to get away and build up the morale for their departments.
The Games continue Sunday with the Broome Ball Tournament at the Suny Cortland Ice Rink.
