The Wyong team from Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) is celebrating its victory in the latest round of the Regional Firefighters Championships at Forbes recently.
The Wyong Fire Station team took out the top spot after an exhilarating display of teamwork and skill, placing ahead of CFA’s Echuca and FRNSW’s Wangi Wangi crews, which came in second and third place respectively.
The Championships put teams through their paces in events like Urban Pumper Collector and Ladder and Hose Hydrant and Extinguisher, all designed to replicate real-life scenarios faced by firefighters.
FRNSW Zone Commander, Superintendent Dean Campbell, said the atmosphere in Forbes was electric.
“The Firefighter Championships are all about community spirit and skills development; it’s always a great event to be part of,” he said.
“We throw in a bit of friendly competition and see some great displays of stamina, endurance and firefighting techniques.
“I’m confident that each competitor has returned home with additional knowledge and skills that will benefit their local communities.
“I send my congratulations to the winners from Wyong Fire and Rescue NSW, and my thanks to all competitors, including our friends from CFA and RFS.”
