Spencerport Fire Department to host community appreciation event

The Spencerport Fire Department continues celebrating its 125th Anniversary by inviting the community to come out for an exciting day of events planned on Saturday, August 1.

The day kicks off with the annual “Red Onions Firematic Drill Team Tournament” at 11 a.m. Firematic racing teams from across New York State will gather at the track located at the end of West Avenue in the Village of Spencerport for a day of friendly competition.

Fire department racing teams participate in events that mirror modern and early firefighting techniques. These events range from bucket brigade competitions to motorized racing trucks capable of reaching speeds of 70 MPH on a short race track.

At the conclusion of the tournament, the public is invited to the carnival grounds for an afternoon and evening of food, fun and entertainment. A Food Truck Rodeo, featuring eight food truck favorites, ranging from wood-fired pizza to Vietnamese cuisine, will get underway starting at 4:30 p.m. and will serve until 10 p.m.

A free community concert rounds out the day-long festivities starting at 6 p.m. with Nik Entertainment Co.’s (Nik & the Nice Guys) musical salute to everything retro with, “Fever: Wrath of Polyester” until 10 p.m.
