Our very first Brigade Games is in the books!
Mother Nature definitely made sure you were in Cragsmoor for Brigade Games, she kept the temperatures in the High 40's-Low 50's with a slight drizzle. Despite the lack of her cooperation, everyone came out and brought the competition!
Thank you to all the agencies who came out to participate and have a good time with us.
This event was a big deal back in the 1970's-1980's and we want to bring it back! It proved to be a great team building event that brought some great interdepartmental competition. It is a great training opportunity for all!
We have some great ideas for the next one already in the works.
Thank you to Ellenville First Aid and Rescue Squad for coming up with a rig and a stand-by crew for the event.
Thank you to our local Amazon site SWF1 for the donation of the personal first aid kits, soft tourniquets reusable cold packs and cooling towels!

Kids Challenge Course
Due to the weather being what it was, cold and wet. Our planned kids course did not occur. This was a disappointment for us, and we were really looking forward to getting the kids excited to participate. We did make a lot of smiles happen despite not being able to run the course. We had some prizes that were handed out to each child (Even some big ones!) We received a donation from our local Amazon that made them smile!
