MANASSAS, Va. — As the lights dimmed in the Old Town Pub, the room quieted. Over 50 sets of eyes watched the fast moving images.

“I can’t tell you how proud I am,” said Fireman Kevin Shaffer. “These kids worked so hard. It was great to see kids from all walks of life getting to know each other and learning to work as a team.”
