“Our heartfelt congratulations to the three outstanding teams that took home the top honors this year, the Central Islip Hoboes, the West Sayville Flying Dutchmen and the Islip Wolves,” said Islip Town supervisor, Angie Carpenter.

Each team demonstrated not only technical proficiency across various challenging events, such as the Three-Man Ladder and the B & C hose drills, but also the spirit of camaraderie that defines the firefighting community.

“Their achievements reflect years of hard work and dedication, and we honor them for their commitment to excellence and their enduring contributions to public safety and our communities,” said Carpenter.

On hand for recognition were Lt. Steven McCarroll and members of the first-place Central Islip Hoboes; Capt. Dan Perrey and the second-place West Sayville Flying Dutchmen; and Capt. Mike Welton and the third-place Islip Wolves.
