Palmer Township Municipal Fire Department is proud to announce the 1st Firefighter Combat Challenge to be held on Sunday August 18th as part of our Township’s Community Weekend events.
The event will kick off at 11:00am at Fairview Park, located at the corner of Fairview Avenue and Mine Lane Road in Palmer Township.
Each participating department will be required to have a team of 5 members, one runner for each obstacle. A 6th runner can be added if you desire to fill in as an alternate or team support member. Each runner will be required to complete their assigned obstacle in full structural fire gear and SCBA (departments supply your own gear and breathing apparatus). The entire obstacle will be a timed event with the winning team completing each obstacle with the best time.
Although there is no fee to register for the event, participants may purchase an event t-shirt in which all proceeds will be donated to The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation in memory of Firefighter cancer related illnesses. Family, friends, and department’s staff are encouraged to attend to cheer on their participating department, with Palmer Community Days opening at 3:00.
To register for the PMFD 1st Firefighter Combat Challenge a team captain must contact Jim Alercia by August 5th. Further information will be provided during registration.
