The Martensville Fire Department is calling on the community to help bring energy and excitement to one of the most intense firefighting competitions in the country, the Saskatchewan Regional FireFit Championships, happening June 7th and 8th at the Martensville Athletic Pavilion (MAP).
As part of Martensville’s 40th Annual Buster Days, this high-octane event will see firefighters from across Canada compete in timed challenges that replicate real-life emergency situations. These include Tower Climb, Hose Pack Carry, Hose Hoist, Forcible Entry, Hose Advance and Victim Rescue.
The FireFit Competitions is often referred to as the “toughest two minutes in sports”, as the events test not only physical strength and endurance, but also the teamwork and precision essential in real-world firefighting scenarios.
With races running from 10:00am to 4:00pm on both days, spectators can expect non-stop action, strength, strategy, and skill on full display, all in celebration of the life-saving work firefighters do every day.
In preparation for the event, Martensville Fire shared on social media, that they are on the lookout for a high-energy, upbeat announcer to provide live, play-by-play commentary throughout the competition. Whether you have broadcasting experience or just love to hype up a crowd, the Martensville Fire Department wants to hear from you.
The FireFit Championships are free of charge, and will be open to the public, making it the perfect outing for families and community members.
Join in celebrating the bravery and athleticism of Canada’s firefighters and help make this milestone Buster Days even more memorable.
Martensville previously hosted the FireFit Championships during Buster Days in 2018 at the Martensville Sports Centre.
