Saturday saw the 71st annual Copper Country Firefighters Tournament, hosted by the Laurium Fire Department. The day included races, a parade, and then a Firefighters Ball. Once a year, the 34 departments in the Copper Country Volunteer Firefighters Association get together to compete. Thirteen of those departments were participating in the races. Dan Zubiena, Laurium fire chief, says the tournament is an opportunity to see each other in a more fun setting. Next year’s tournament will be held in Calumet Township.
