Foxboro Fire makes Super Bowl wager with Seattle

Foxboro firefighters are adding a little extra excitement to the big game by making a wager with Seattle’s fire department. 

The Foxboro crew’s faith is strong, and Seattle has accepted! 

On the line? 30 t-shirts donning the city’s fire department logo. 

The losers will have to ship theirs to the winner’s firehouse following the match up.

This local Foxboro crew protects Gillette Stadium during games, and of course they are big fans themselves.

Need proof? Look no further than their equipment. 

The back-and-forth between the two departments has already begun.

“Just you know…  from the current events of what’s going on right now there’s a little hazing going on our behalf. We’re getting beat up a little but it is what it is.”

“Yeah… I’m very confident. I feel we match up well against that team over there so it should be a great game.”

The department makes the same bet during all playoff games.

The Indianapolis Fire Department is paying up for the Colts’ loss last week…those shirts are in the mail and on the way to Foxboro.
