Big guns coming for epic water fight

Service Announcement

Think you’re handy in a water fight? There’s one way to find out.

The Penticton Firefighters are fighting this heat wave by challenging residents to the ultimate water fight and they’re bringing the big guns. The showdown will be July 28 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Penticton Secondary Sports Field.

So as the mercury continues to climb, be sure to slap on the sunscreen and head down to for some water-filled fun. Come prepared with your water pistols and other spray toys, as the firefighters will have their fire hose and truck ready to go.

And if you’re low on water guns, there will be spares available so everyone can get a good soaking. While the spray will be flying, there will also be water to drink provided.

(Note: If the fire department gets called away, the water fight will be rescheduled.)
