Lead
The air was humid and the sun was hot. Sweat dripped down the back of people’s necks as they chugged down the last of their bottled water. Wives and children sat anxiously at the edge of their lawn chairs. Some players laughed at jokes as they sipped from their beer cans and chewed on their tobacco. Others threw a softball around and stretched their legs. Even in the hot and humid weather, these athletes are still dedicated to playing the sport they love: softball. But they aren’t just any other athletes. They’re firefighters from across the state of Texas competing in the annual Texas Firefighter Olympics.

The Texas Firefighter Olympics is an event held annually where firefighters from across the state of Texas come to compete in a variety of sports from soccer, basketball, and power lifting, to bowling, Texas Hold ‘Em, and horseshoes. This event helps to create bonding across the state, and is coordinated by firefighters themselves.
