In the world of firefighting, there are volunteer firefighters, and then there are firefighters who volunteer.
It’s 12 firefighters in the latter category who are preparing once again to venture into the fast-paced wild world of roller derby, challenging the local TerrorZ roller derby team in a match to raise money for the Columbus Firemen’s Cheer Fund.
At 6:30 p.m. Sunday, the teams will mix it up at Columbus Skateland, 2660 N. Talley Road, with proceeds from the event being used to buy presents for kids in need at Christmas.
The two teams are hoping that as many as 300 people will fill the skating rink spectator area, and bring a few extra bucks to support a good cause.
