On Tuesday September 14 Captain Bob Smythe, Jr set up a firefighter obstacle course outside the firehouse. Firefighters were paired up using the right shoe method. Everyone put their right shoe in a pile and two at a time were selected. All the younger members attacked the course but the “older” members were victorious. Congrats to Deputy Chief Foran and Firefighter Ed Abel, Jr who are the 2021 Champs.
