MINEHEAD firefighters are off to New York for a game of football.
The four-strong squad will join colleagues from across the world in a special two-day World Soccer Tournament, inaugurated after the 9/11 terrorist attacks to keep firefighters in touch with each other.
Teams from Italy, Germany, Canada and Holland will also take to the pitch, as well as sides from the New York police and fire departments.
