Aaron Simon & Fire Chief Chad Cooper

The Beat the Chief Competition returned to the Flin Flon Fire Hall Friday afternoon.  Eight firefighters tested their skills, fitness and cardio vascular endurance through a variety of tests.  Finishing in the top three were Aaron Simon 1 minute 31.27 seconds, Jarrett Kemp 1:31.47 and Greg Pruden 1:32.94.

Fire Chief Chad Cooper says the competition shows the quality of our firefighters and how they take their fitness seriously.  He says everything is driven around their personal fitness level and to be able to provide the best service to their task on a fire scene they need to be at the peak of physical fitness and today was an excellent showing of how fittheir guys are and how serious they are in how they take their fitness level.

The top three finishers will have their names engraved on the trophy at the fire hall.
