SAN ANGELO, TX – The San Angelo Fire Fighter’s Association (SAFFA) is hosting a 5K and one mile fun run Saturday morning at Kids Kingdom.

The Fallen First Responder 5K is held in conjunction with the Texas Firefighter Summer Games being hosted by the San Angelo Fire Fighters Association July 16 – 21. The Games begin Sunday morning at the San Angelo Stadium with an opening ceremony followed by the power lifting competition.
