Fall River Police and Fire unions raise money for charity, but only one won bragging rights
Members of both the Fall River Fire and Police departments faced off Friday night for a good cause.
The two sides squared off in a basketball game to help raise money for the Veteran Association of Bristol County at 7:00 p.m. at Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School.
In a hard-fought contest, the firefighter union edged out the police union 49-42 leaving FRFD with bragging rights for the second time after winning a flag football game last fall.
Both local unions were really winners on the night, however, as according to the firefighter union, both sides were able to raise over $2,000 for the Veterans Association of Bristol County with support from the community.
FRPD will be looking for redemption in their next yet to be released matchup.
