A North Shore community is preparing to see plenty of firefighting action this weekend, all for a good cause in the spirt of competition.
The Huron Shores Firefighters Association is hosting the first North Shore Firefighter Challenge this weekend and 18 teams, including contingents from Espanola and the Township of Sables-Spanish Rivers will be taking on each other in various skills competitions.
The participants will be sharing their skills in exterior and interior attack, as well as search & rescue.
The event will also include visits with Sparky, the children’s section, a trade show, and vendors at the Iron Bridge Recreation Centre this Saturday from 8 am until 5 pm.
The entry fee for the public is an item for the food bank.
