Shawn Mathieson
First Responder Challenge
Are you a firefighter, police officer, or paramedic?
Team Shrek challenges you to compete in the Shawn Mathieson First Responder Challenge. They won multiple awards at the inaugural Ottawa Fire Truck Pull, including the Overall Best Team Award. Can you pull a 10+ tonne fire truck 100 feet faster than a team of firefighters who work together like a well-oiled machine?
Who can compete?
Firefighters, police officers, and paramedics are invited to enter a team into this challenge. People in training to become a firefighter, police officers, or paramedics are also welcome to enter a team for this challenge. Any team with at least 50% first responders can participate in this challenge.
How is the winner decided?
The Challenge team that pulls the 10+ tonne fire truck 100 feet the fastest will win the Shawn Mathieson First Responder Challenge Award.
