No. 214 Saturdays Scott Firefighter Team and Tandem Combat Challenge in Everett, Washington

Recap of Scott Firefighter Combat Challenge August 24th, 2013
Port of Everett
Everett, WA


Scott Firefighter Challenge Everett 2013
A brief morning drizzle started off the day in Snohomish County but by the start of the first Everett Firefighter Challenge the drizzle had stopped and the team, tandem and rally competition could begin.
Members of local Fire Departments, US Navy, Canada, Louisiana took part in the event.
Every year the Scott Firefighter Challenge hits the road with its carnival of trucks, equipemt and staff to over 20 cities. The competitors where in high spirits to show off their skills and speed on the obstacle course which includes obstacles they encounter every day of roll outs. Having been a Firefighter II and EMT-B, Unit Officer and 911 dispatcher for 8 years for my local volunteer fire department and city police back east it is still evident that the first responder community is alive and well no matter where you go in the US or abroad.
This being the first time the Scott Firefighter Challenge came to the Everett area may have been a reason that most of the crowds were made of family and friends of the competitors. The start of the Evergreen Fair, Boeing Gold Tournament along with the lack of word of mouth for this event kept attendance fairly low. So keep this event in mind for 2014 and come out and see your local Fire & EMS crews go head to head in individual, tandem and rally competitions on the 5 obstacle course which includes climbing a five-story tower in full tournout gear, dragging and hoisting a fire house, simulating forcible entry, racing around obstacles. The Firefighter Combat Challege motivates, identifies and celebrates America's "best of the best" firefighters.
See you next year. Here are some of today's burning faces

      The SCOTT Firefighter Combat Challenge attracts hundreds of U.S. and Canadian firefighters to more than 25 competitions in North America annually and is now expanding to countries around the world, including New Zealand, Germany, Argentina, Chile, and South Africa.
      The Challenge seeks to encourage firefighter fitness and demonstrate the profession's rigors to the public. Wearing "full bunker gear" and SCOTT Air-Pak breathing apparatus, pairs of competitors race head-to-head as they simulate the physical demands of real-life firefighting by performing a linked series of five tasks including climbing a 5-story tower, hoisting, chopping, dragging hoses and rescuing a life-sized, 175 lb. "victim" as they race against themselves, their opponent and the clock.
      The competition is free to watch and spectators are encouraged. In addition to the main event and the Kid’s Combat Challenge (free), there will also be antique and modern fire engines, Fire Safety house, Kid-sized bunker gear, vendors/booths, and more-all free!

Flying Heritage Collection
http://www.flyingheritage.com/
3407 109th St SW
Everett, WA

Saturday August 17th at Paine Field in Everett, Washington

*UPDATED WITH New IMAGES*

Flying Heritage Collection's Summer Saturday Fly Days for 2013 continues Saturday 8/17/2013 with
"Luftwaffe Day" featuring the collections Bf 109, FW 190, and Storch in an areial display around noon. A panel discussion will take place after the air show  (aprox. 1:45 pm) with veteran warbird flyers John Penney and Steve Hinton. 
These maintenance flights are planned activities, but somewhat tentative, based on weather conditions, pilot availability and the mechanical condition of the aircraft. Decisions to cancel Fly Day may not be made until shortly before the flight, so if you have a concern please call FHC prior to your visit.

As of today the long term forecast in the Seattle area is for afternoon showers through Friday afternoon, but should be clear and dry for the weekend.
