The Pumper Pull this year will have some exciting new additions added to it such as the Bucket Brigade competition where we'll be kicking it back to the years of old for Firefighters. Back in the day, members of communities and very early Firefighters would take a source of water, a line of people and buckets to transfer from the source to the location of the fire where they would extinguish it with teamwork.
This year we will also be adding in additional prizes for the following categories, for the Pumper Pull Teams:
- Best Dressed Team
- Most Comical Team
- Best Team Tent
We look forward to seeing you all on May 10, 2025. It's gonna be an 11AM start for the Pumper Pull, teams are required to show up at the latest by 10:30 to set up their tent area for their team to relax in while waiting to pull and afterwards.
