Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility weekly project update - July 14, 2011 2011
Depot firefighters represent Team Umatilla
Rich Jendro and Steve Petersen of the Umatilla Chemical Depot Fire Department traveled to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Sunday, July 9, to represent Umatilla Chemical Depot in the Firefighter Combat Challenge.
The Challenge annually attracts hundreds of U.S. and Canadian municipal fire departments at more than 25 locations around the country. It seeks to encourage firefighter fitness and demonstrate the profession’s rigors to the public. Wearing “full bunker gear” and breathing apparatus, pairs of competitors race head-to-head as they simulate the physical demands of firefighting by performing a linked series of five tasks including climbing the five-story tower, hoisting, chopping, dragging hoses and rescuing a life-sized, 175-pound “victim” as they race against themselves, their opponent and the clock.
