The Drumheller Fire Fit squad had another great showing when they attended the Fire Fit Nationals in Edmonton from September 4-8.
Drumheller Firefighters competed at the Fire Fit Nationals in Edmonton from September 4-8, Members of the team included (l-r) Duane Bolin, Steve Hatt, Trevor Scott, Merv Smith, Mitch Smith and of course Rescue Randy the 175lb dummy that is dragged over the finish line.
Trevor Scott secured the best time Drumheller has seen since Duane Bolin started entering unsuspecting rookies in 2001. Trevor achieved his personal best (PB) time of 1:32, first year Mitch Smith came in with a PB 1:42, Duane Bolin - despite his injuries- came in with a commanding 1:55, First year Steve Hatt shaved off 9 seconds giving him a PB of 2:02, Merv Smith had a PB of 2:02.
The Drumheller team didn’t stop there. The relay team consisting of all five members had another Drumheller best time of 1:19. The two-man NxG2 Duane/Merv over 40 beat their old time with a team best of 1:53. Steve and Mitch also set a new record for Drumheller NxG2 Rookie 1:49.
Another huge accomplishment that needs mentioning is that Duane Bolin has been competing in Fire Fit since 2001. In that time he has run the course 22 times and involved 19 other members to experience the hardest two minutes in sports!
TSN will be airing the event later in October.... be sure to watch not only the guys compete but the many fans that followed the members up to Edmonton to cheer them on loud and proud.
