It’s been a good year for the Quinte West FireFit team which won several medals in FireFit competitions across North America.
The Quinte West team, consisting of firefighters Shelby Barton, Greg King, and Sean Morphet, competed in three regional events this year throughout Ontario and Quebec bringing home two gold medals, four silver medals, and one bronze medal.
Following their regional successes, the team advanced to the National FireFit Championships in Kamloops, British Columbia, before taking on the Firefighter Challenge World event in Nashville, Tennessee.
King delivered impressive performances, securing:
- Silver Medal in the Individual (Over 55) at Nationals
- Bronze Medal in the Individual (Chief/Senior Officer) at Nationals
At the World Championships in Nashville, King’s achievements included:
- Gold Medal in the Team Relay (Over 50)
- Bronze Medal in the Tandem Relay (Over 50)
- Fourth Place in the Individual (Over 55)
“I’m excited to keep pushing myself and using my skills to compete in these events,” says Greg King, Senior Fire Prevention Officer. “Competing alongside firefighters from around the world helps the Quinte West team continually improve and excel in our day-to-day work.”
The 2024 Quinte West FireFit team thanks council, Fire Chief John Whelan, Deputy Chief Rick Caddick and the City of Quinte West for their continued support.
