We, in the Halifax Regional Fire & Emergency, would like to recognize those individuals who have dedicated their time and energy training for the 2008 Combat Challenge. We see individuals and teams practice around the clock and in all weather, volunteering their time and pushing themselves to represent Halifax Regional Fire & Emergency, striving to beat their record times, time and time again. And once again there were many personal best times set during this year's challenge.
Congratulations to all those who competed!
