Are you ready for some football?

The Island Park and Lido-Point Lookout fire departments held their second annual charity football game at Lincoln Orens Middle School in Island Park on Jan. 30.

The snowy field and cold weather didn’t stop lots of people from coming out to see the two departments face off.

The game was held to raise money for the Nassau County Burn Center. Nearly $5,000 was raised.

The IPFD and LPLFD were joined by representatives from the Baldwin, Oceanside and Rockville Centre Fire Departments as well, some of whom acted as guest referees for the game. Assemblyman Harvey Weisenberg (D-Long Beach) also came down to show his support.

And at the end of the day, the IPFD won the game. Although it was really fire fighters all over Nassau County that won out.
