Firefighter Challenge wraps up 2011 Fire Prevention Week

Lt. Col. Bryan Dunn, 376th Expeditionary Operations Group deputy commander, is determined to get a competitive time during the charged handline fire-hose pull Oct. 15 at the 2011 Firefighter Challenge at the Transit Center at Manas, Kyrgyzstan. The challenge was the highlight event to wrap up this year's Fire Prevention Week here. The friendly competition pitted teams from the Civil Engineer Squadron, Security Forces, the Operations Group, Red Horse and Contracting against each other in a number of events. Each individual from every team had to complete a timed challenge course with events like a fire extinguisher swap-out, fire-hose carry, dummy lift and carry, and precision fire-hose shooting. Appropriately, the Firefighter Challenge was held in front of Pete’s Place, the all-ranks recreation facility named after New York City Fire Chief Peter Ganci, Jr. who was killed during the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Dunn, whose hometown is Denver, is deployed here from Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash. (U.S. Air Force photo/Maj. Bob Everdeen)
