FIREFIGHTERS are busy preparing for this year’s CFA/VFBV State Firefighter Championships.
The events are once again being held at Mooroopna Recreation Reserve across two weekends.
Urban Junior State Championships will kick off this weekend, on March 22 and 23. The Senior Urban, Junior Rural, and Senior Rural events will be held at the same site the following weekend on March 29 and 30.
CFA Chief Officer Jason Heffernan said the State Championships have always been an integral part of CFA since they began in 1874.
“The championships are a great way to show the endurance and reliability of brigades, as well as promoting leadership, mental wellbeing, and physical fitness with all competitors celebrated for having a go,” he said.
“The championships are one of the most exciting events on the CFA calendar and a great opportunity for our members to engage in friendly competition with their brigade and fellow firefighters.
“It’s also a great way for the community to see what we do, and hopefully we can inspire them to join their local brigades.”
