City of Erie firefighters teamed up to make their national television debut on Fox on Monday night.
Five firefighters were taking on a team of nurses for a $100,000 grand prize on the Quiz with Balls.
Erie firefighters to compete on national game show
It was part of the show’s “First Responder Face Off.”
Contestants faced trivia questions on a platform with giant balls, knocking players who got wrong answers into a pool below.
The firefighters defeated the nurses and came one right answer away from the $100,000 prize.
Even though they didn’t snag the grand prize, those Erie firefighters went home with $33,000.
On behalf of the JET 24/FOX 66 team, congratulations!
