Teens To Turn Up Heat At St. Pete Fire Rescue Station

ST. PETERSBURG, FL – St. Petersburg Fire Rescue workers are accustomed to the heat. But will they be able to handle the hot and spicy concoction prepared especially for them on Tuesday night, Feb. 20?

Fire rescue workers will be treated to a Taco Tuesday dinner at the St. Petersburg Fire Rescue Master Fire Station, 455 8th St. S., St. Petersburg.

In partnership with Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital’s Fit4AllKids program, the winners of the 2017 Teen Salsa Showdown from the St. Petersburg Fire Rescue's 28th Annual Fire Prevention Block Party in October will prepare a taco dinner for St. Petersburg rescue workers.

At the block party, 10 teams competed in preparing their best healthy salsa recipes for a panel of judges, including Mayor Rick Kriseman, Fire Chief James Large and nutrition experts.

The winning team from the Thomas Jett Jackson Recreation Center will prepare its award-winning "Salsa De Mango" for rescue workers starting at 4:45 p.m.
