This year marks the seventh year for the event and after the last six the competition is all tied up, three to three.  Lt. Brent Long says, "I was thinking game 7 and all and 3 to 3 and just in a good show of camaraderie and sportsmanship, we'll probably defer to the police this year. We kind of want to make sure they come back next year and do this again for us."  Lt. Tom Senesac says, "Yeah, and we'll be doing the same."  Guns and Hoses will run through Friday by the Sears wing of the Rushmore Mall.  Police and Fire officials say donors will receive free t-shirts, along with some great food.
