On Wednesday, June 19, the Vegreville Fire Department took a small break from their regular practice schedule to host a BBQ for family members… and an adventure around town for the firefighters.

Separated into four teams, the firefighters tested their skills at stations throughout Vegreville. Stops at local businesses such as Canadian Tire and other locations where they were given tough trivia questions, and practical skill-testing challenges Amazing Race-style, before eventually returning to the Fire Hall to declare the winner.

Family members and Fire Department staff volunteered to manage each station, and the teams were awarded fun prizes put together by Vegreville Fire Chief Phil Rowe.

“It’s just a fun training exercise I like to put together for them,” said Rowe, “It gives them a chance to have some fun together while also training them in the same things that get covered in a regular practice.”

The winner of the Amazing Race challenge at Vegreville Fire Hall was Crew 2.
