The American Red Cross is trying a new way to encourage blood donations with the "Guns & Hoses" competitive blood drive.
Spokeswoman Sarah Stevermer says police officers and firefighters will compete to see which group donates more blood. Community members designate which group they'll support. Stevermer says it's the first such drive in Beloit, but it has proven successful around Wisconsin.
