A press release from Lubbock Sports, the 2023 Texas Firefighter Summer Games are expected to bring about 800 to 1200 firefighters from across Texas as they showcase their skills. The games are designed to deliver a competitive but family oriented environment as the participants showcase their fitness, camaraderie, and sportsmanship.
