LCFA President, Amy Howard of Post Mountain Fire Department was very pleased with the turnout in the rain as well as the firefighters who displayed their training and skills to participate in this annual event.
There is a great deal of pride in the firefighting community and it was very well displayed on this date with some great sportsmanship displayed as well as the brotherhood of the fire service.
Poteau Fire Department was the overall 2009 Champion. Second place went Pocola, third place to Heavener, fourth place to Murray Spur, fifth to Wister and sixth was Panama.
