We’re gearing up for a major event on the beach from August 20–22 (setup beginning August 18th) called the Firefighter Challenge. It’s an incredible, high‑energy experience that showcases the strength, skill, and dedication of our first responders and we’ll need a strong volunteer team to help make it happen!
The event features a challenging course where firefighters compete for bragging rights, with spectators cheering them on throughout the weekend. The biggest highlight is Saturday morning’s main competition, often called “the toughest two minutes in sports,” where top competitors from all divisions go head‑to‑head for the title.
We're looking for able-bodied volunteers to help set up and reset the course. Please note that some tasks will involve lifting and moving equipment. These positions are only open to able-bodied individuals. Only individuals that are physically prepared to assume these roles should apply. All duties are repetitive, meaning performed 50+ per times a day, and require upper body, arm, and lower back strength. This volunteer opportunity is not recommended for those who are pregnant, with heart conditions, with serious back problems, with fear of heights, or have other health problems.
