Cortland, NY – February 2, 2015 - The Firemen’s Association of the State of New York (FASNY) will kick off its 10th Anniversary Firefighter Winter Games in Cortland, NY on Friday, February 6th. Proudly hosted by the Cortland County Firemen’s Association, more than 300 firefighters from across New York State, dressed in full turnout gear, will participate in a host of events throughout the weekend, including perennial favorites: Tubing, Sled Pull, Tug-O-War, Hose Race and Broomball. The 2015 Games represent the largest field of competitors to date, and the competition is INTENSE.
The games’ fierce Fire Departments competition for superiority allows firefighters to hone important training skills. For example, the Hose Relay Event reinforces firefighters’ training on how important speedy, efficient and close teamwork is when fighting a fire.
