Junior firefighters representing the Valley Stream Fire Department captured first place in the 3rd Battalion Juniors Tournament hosted by the Inwood Fire Department at North Woodmere Park on Aug. 2.
Youngsters from the Hewlett and Meadowmere Park juniors also competed in the firematic events. Traditionally, the fire departments look to the junior firefighters as future recruits and events such as these to help with volunteer retention.
The 3rd Battalion consists of the Hewlett, Inwood, Meadowmere Park, Lawrence-Cedarhurst, Valley Stream and Woodmere fire departments.
Shores Deli in Atlantic Beach catered the tournament and the band Fools Night out performed.
