Firefighters from the Auburn and Lewiston fire departments race down “Big Buck” during the Mary’s Firemen for a Cure fundraiser at Lost Valley in Auburn on Saturday. Five teams of firefighters and one National Ski Patrol team participated during the 17th annual event. The fundraiser for breast cancer awareness is named after Mary Allen, the late wife of Bridgton firefighter Wayne Allen. The Allen family started the annual firefighter’s race in 2003, two years before Mary Allen passed away from breast cancer.
