Firefighters headed to Feilding for national United Fire Brigades’ Association challenge

People can watch firefighters take part in a national driving challenge in Feilding this weekend.

The United Fire Brigades’ Association (UFBA) National Drivers Challenge will have 100 firefighters completing bay and parallel parking, driving straight, changing lanes, braking, estimating clearance and negotiating serpentine and shrinking chicanes, showcasing their ability to drive fire trucks.

UFBA chief executive Bill Butzbach said spectators can gain insight into the world of firefighters and see the skill it takes to control and manoeuvre a fire truck with precision and patience.
