Firefighters from across the Southeast will compete against each other as individuals and as a team during the Firefighter Combat Challenge this weekend in Flowery Branch.
The heat index is sure to continue soaring as firefighters from across the country will converge for the Hall County Firefighter Combat Challenge this weekend. The event, part of a national series of events designed to challenge first responders, consists of individual, team and relay events. “This is the first time me and a lot of these guys have ever competed in this,” said Seth Satterfield, a Hall County firefighter with Station 5 in Flowery Branch.
