Firefighter games heat up Greek Peak

VIRGIL, N.Y. — Hundreds of firefighters from across the state are getting a break from normal routine to enjoy a little friendly competition this weekend at the Firefighter Winter Games.

Greek Peak has hosted the games for the past four years, featuring team activities like the hose relay, tug of war and sled pull.

Organizers say this year they had more than 60 teams participate and for everyone, it’s truly a bonding experience.

“We’re working together to bring firefighters from across the state to this location to spend time together to share stories, learn from each other, and just comradery,” said David Jacobowitz, President of FASNY.

The games continue Sunday with a Broomball tournament and awards ceremony.
