FireFit and TopCop Competition in Chalk River<\/p><\/div>\n

What is FireFit and TopCop?<\/strong><\/p>\n

FireFit and TopCop are competitions that simulate the fire fighting and security tasks most often performed in emergency situations. The purpose of the FireFit and TopCop events is to showcase the demands of fire fighting and of being a security\/ law enforcement professional. In both competitions, participants are challenged to race through designated courses and perform emergency tasks, all while dressed in the full equipment of a typical fire fighter or police officer at the scene of an emergency.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy hosting this event in Chalk River, AECL can display the exemplary capabilities of the emergency personnel we have on site. It also allows us a great opportunity to work with our community partners. These competitions give the public some insight into the rigorous training and state of readiness that these employees maintain,\u201d said Brian Mumford, Director of Emergency and Protective Services at AECL.<\/p>\n
