VIDEO: Bringing out their hoses, the Duluth Fire Department had to fight for their lives Monday against some unlikely opponents. The annual water fight took place between the Longview Tennis Club and Duluth Fire Department Station 4.
The event has been running for years and is something the kids look forward to all summer. Tennis students and other kids from the neighborhood ran around with squirt guns, buckets of water and even the fire hoses, trying to douse each other. Katie Paul, an Administrative Assistant for Longview Tennis Club, said its a great way to close out the season and celebrate with the community. “It’s good to get the firefighters in this casual environment with the kids too, and not be afraid of anyone in uniform or anything like that,” Paul said.
