10 teams travelled to Thompson to compete in Manitoba’s First Nations Fire Fighter Competition.
Hosted in Thompson for the 1st time in 24 years, the competition had the fire fighters complete tasks that simulate fighting a fire such as laying out a hose, hitting targets with water, and climbing through tunnels.
The winning fire fighters were Cross Lake First Nation. They are off to Ontario mid-August , to represent Manitoba in the National first nation firefighter competition. Last year, Manitoba came in 3rd.
