The fire service has lost a legend.

In the late seventies, Dr. Paul O Davis established quantitative testing benchmarks for firefighters that measured peak performance during fireground activities. His groundbreaking work morphed into his creation of the sporting phenomenon known as the Firefighter Combat Challenge. For over 30 years, thousands of firefighters from across the world have participated in the “Toughest Two Minutes in Sports”. The Challenge is not only a “sport” but a lifestyle.

The core concept of the fireground evolutions within the Challenge have been accepted into the training programs for hundreds of departments. For almost twenty years I have been racing in the Challenge. The firefighter athlete lifestyle has made me a better firefighter and man. I can never give back enough of what the Challenge has given me.

Rest in peace Dr. Davis. Your impact on the fire service will resonate for generations to come.

The 23’ Southwest Regional is a wrap. It was an exciting 3 days of racing in the Las Vegas sunshine. My final run fell a little short of my goal but I can definitely build off of it and improve.

I also had the opportunity to work the event as a race official which was a lot of fun! I always knew the Challenge staff works hard to put on a quality show but now after seeing all the work behind the scenes I am even more impressed by the production of this great sport.

I’m already looking forward to the next one. GO PFD!
