Members of the Drumheller Fire Department are brushing up their skills to be ready for the coming Firefit competition in the valley.
This September, the department will be hosting the nation at a regional Firefit contest in the shadow of The World’s Largest Dinosaur. To prepare for the event, members of the department headed to Spruce Meadows over the weekend to take on the course.
In all, six members competed on June 11 and 12. Duane Bolin posted a quick 2:01 and Merv Smith posted a 2:12, Jonathon Molzahn posted a time of 2:49, Darby Page posted a 2:53, Mitch Smith had a blistering 1:48 and Kyle Smith posted a 2:01.
The Drumheller event is coming up in on September 10 and 11 and they have a number of events planned including a Corporate Challenge on Friday night where locals can put together a team of 3-5 people who will compete against other teams on the course.
