Napanee FireFit Combat Challenge Team
As mentioned early, no firefighter is required to take part in the FireFit Combat Challenge. Team members have come and gone over the years but all have had one thing in common - they have surpassed all physical requirements in the firefighter world to demonstrate their passion for a gruelling sport that challenges both the physical and mental strength of all its competitors.
The Napanee FireFit Combat Challenge Team began and has been running since 2002.
Note: This is not an exhaustive team list. More team members will be added soon and profile pictures will be updated.
