McKeesport Fire Fighters IAFF Local 10 and Upper Darby Fire Fighters IAFF Local 2493 have made a friendly wager on the Eastern Conference Finals between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Philadelphia Flyers.
Both locals have agreed to put up 20 steak sandwiches, or hoagies as we call them here in Pittsburgh. The loser must provide the sandwiches to the other department once the winner of the Conference Finals is decided. This should be interesting for both locals because the Conference Finals are taking place during the Pennsylvania Professional Fire Fighter's Association's Biennial Convention May 14th through the 16th in Philadelphia.
Additionally, President Tedesco, proposed to President Pete Huf of Local 2493, that the representing president at the Convention wear the winning teams jersey after the results of both games 3 and 4. President Huf agreed and thought it would be fun. Hopefully, this will bring some added fun and excitement to both Locals and the State Convention.
Go Pens!!!!!!
