MORESoddy-Daisy celebrates Monday
The Fourth of July Firemen’s Muster is a long-held tradition in Soddy-Daisy, but the amount of manpower will remain a mystery until Monday.
Earlier this week, City Manager Hardie Stulce said he couldn’t really guess how many departments will show up for the friendly competition.
“We never know,” he said. “We usually have anywhere between six and eight different departments, and it’s usually the same ones every year, but every now and then we’ll have another one show up we weren’t expecting.”
Teams of firefighters compete in seven events that test their speed and skills, such as three-man ladder, rescue and battle of the barrel. The latter is a crowd favorite, Stulce said.
