City of Champions Fire Tactics and 5K

Join us for a 5K run/walk, followed by a must-attend lecture for anyone interested in firefighting tactics. This event integrates two core components of the fire service: fitness and fireground operations. The 5K will start and end at Keating Hall, home of Brockton Firefighters Local 144, beginning at 9am. Following the race, we will host Deputy Chief Nicholas Papa of the New Britain Fire Department as he presents his course titled "Coordinating Ventilation: Supporting Extinguishment & Survivability." The purpose of this course is to provide participants with an operational framework to streamline the decision-making process and enhance their likelihood of success when engaging in ventilation operations. *Registration 8AM Race Divisions include Top 3 Male/FemaleFirefighter Team Challenge (3 person teams)Brockton Firefighter 1st place awardTop Male/Female in the following Divisons Under 15,15-25, 26-40, 41-50, 51-Over Participants have the option to partake in the 5K, lecture, or bothRefreshments will be served inside the union hall at the barPizza will be served for any participant attending the lectureFirst 50 registered entrants receive free Fire Tactics and 5K T-Shirt *This event is open to both the general public and fire service members *All proceeds will benefit the LND Foundation in honor of Matthew L.
