4th Annual Chuck Varese Vehicle Extraction Tournament

Dozezns of teams from Huntington township f will take part in the Fourth Annual Chuck Varese Vehicle Extrication Tournament Saturday.

In support of local fire departments and through the coordination of Ex-Chief Northport Fire Department Robert J. "Beefy" Varese, is donating 30 vehicles to be used in the tournament.

The event is named after  Varese's son Chuck, who was fatally struck three years ago by an intoxicated motorist on Route 25A in Centerport.  The competition is designed to build camaraderie between fire departments and its members, as well as to share valuable lifesaving extrication techniques, which will ultimately help to save precious time when a victim's life is in jeopardy.

The event takes place at the Northport fire Department's Fairgrounds in the Pit, not at the main stationhouse or the substation on Waterside.
