New England Firefighters’ Challenge

As you may know, TPS's Steve DiLello has been training members of the Everett Fire Department for their upcoming competition, the 2nd Annual N.E. Firefighter's Challenge being held at Memorial Hospital, 140 Lincoln Ave. in Haverhill, MA. on August 23-24.

 This is an extremely intense, physically demanding event that requires both strength and endurance.  It is designed to mimic what a firefighter might see in a day's work: running up stairs, dragging bodies, swinging a sledgehammer and more, all in 60 pounds of gear.

 TPS will exhibiting at the 2-day expo and will also be participating in the Corporate Sponsor's Relay Race on Sunday 8/24 at 11am.  We will competing against other businesses that are sponsoring the event! It is a 5 man relay that will complete the same course obstacles, but without having to run it in full firefighter gear.  That saves on the cardio training!  Stop by the booth and cheer us on!
