The Central New York firematic champion Owego Hose Teams, Inc., will host a chicken barbeque on Saturday, Oct. 20, from 11 a.m. until gone and across the street from Croton Hose Co. #3 Fire Station, 8 Talcott St. in Owego on the Flats.

The team races in timed events where firefighters test their skills. Teams of five members must connect nozzles to hoses, hoses to hoses, and hoses to the fire hydrant, and knock down targets in the quickest time in the ladder, wye and straight lay competitions. Hose races improve basic firefighting skills. 

The menu will include “Cornell Chicken” halves and the Duke’s baked beans, Hinerwadel’s salt potatoes, and Roma roll for $10.  For pickup or home delivery.  Preorder via email at owegohoseteams@gmail.com or by calling (202) 494-9108. Proceeds will benefit the Baker Fireman’s Fountain Restoration and the team’s operating fund. 

Incorporated as a not for profit in 2015 the Owego Hose Teams have been competing in firematics since 1951.
