Oshawa hosts 2024 Regional FireFit Championships

More than 300 first responders will be competing when the City of Oshawa hosts the 2024 Eastern Ontario Regional FireFit Championships from August 9 - 11 at Delpark Homes Centre.

This competition provides community members a front-row seat as teams and individual firefighters from all over Ontario go head-to-head on tasks based on real-life emergencies.

This is the sixth year Oshawa has hosted a FireFit event. It launches on Friday, August 9 at 6 p.m. with the Charity Relay competition, which is open to teams made up of members of the public. Charity Relay teams are tasked with completing a course identical to the firefighter's relay competition. If you’d like to participate, please email [email protected]. All proceeds go to supporting local charities and emergency services. 

Firefighters take to the course on Saturday, August 10, for the individual and team competitions and Sunday, August 11, for the relay and tandem competitions.

Returning this year is the Kids Interactive FireFit Zone, which features the world-famous kids course, RS Rescue Extrication Zone, demos, fire prevention, and more!

On Saturday, the North Oshawa Farmers’ Market will run 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Delpark Homes Centre. The playgrounds, water parks and library branch at Delpark Homes Centre is also available for public use throughout the event. Souvenir items will be available for purchase, as well as various vendors, food trucks, fire safety information, displays, and more.
