Firefighter
Completions:
Having good old fashion competition between members is a great way to
practice every day skills and have some fun with family and friends.
One of the duties of the Education and Competitions Committee is to coordinate
competition events for the Association with the conference committee. The competition
events are primarily individual and/or team events.
The vents include all normally firefighting skills that we all perform at most incidents.
Each region will hold competitions events and the winners from each region will advance
to the state competition event the following summer. So you can see there is plenty of
time to practice and perfect your skills.
The first purpose of this type of drill is to enrich team spirit and refine team work at a
company level. Each company officer will meet with the personnel assigned to their
company, and plan how to utilize their companies resources (personnel) to it's fullest
advantage.
The second purpose of this skills training session is to allow you as an individual to
polish some skills, which we use in our everyday emergency responses while making
training enjoyable.
AWARDS AND RECOGNITION
This will be a chance for your company to stand out above the rest as well as you, an
individual, can also be rewarded for your personal skills.
There will be trophies awarded to the company with the highest overall score. There
will be three company trophies which will stay at the stations trophy case.
The individual trophies will be awarded to individuals who score the highest on the
"individual firefighter" events so listed on the events schedule. The individual will be
able to take his or her trophy home.
