Water was flying, and police and firefighters (and the occasional bystander) were getting soaked for a good cause Saturday morning at the “Fire and Cop on Top” event in Quincy. Quincy Police Department officers, firefighters from Grant County Fire District 3 and Washington State Patrol troopers had a water fight with anybody who decided to come by to benefit the Quincy Special Olympics.
The law enforcement officers and firefighters held the high ground in a scissor lift, but there were plenty of children below ready to take aim. Brandon Johnson, East Wenatchee, the Eastern Washington co-director for the Law Enforcement Torch Run, said Quincy officers had participated in previous events in East Wenatchee, but this was something new.
“This is the first year for Quincy,” Johnson said.
