On Saturday, June 11, the Lynbrook Tumblers Tournament Team sponsored their Third Annual Old-Fashion Invitational Drill under rainy skies at Greis Park in Lynbrook. 

Fourteen fire department teams from Nassau and Suffolk Counties competed for trophies, but due to the inclement weather, ladder events were not held for safety reasons — although but five hose events and a bucket contest were held. 

Trophies were awarded in each event.  Freeport “Nighthawks,” took first place, while the Miller Place “Extinguishers,” took second, Malverne “Chipmunks,” took third, and the Lynbrook “Tumblers,” took fourth, and the Lakeview “Sparks,” took fifth place.
