The Event
On Saturday, October 5, 2024, teams of 10 will descend on Lansdowne Park, Casino Lac Leamy Plaza to demonstrate that they have the fortitude to pull an Ottawa Fire Services fire truck 100 feet. Teams will compete to see who can pull the truck the fastest, raise the most money for a good cause, or demonstrate the most team spirit.
Anyone can put together a team. Grab up to 9 friends, register, and raise at least $1,000 – that’s just $100 each!

If pulling a fire truck isn’t your idea of a good time, there will still be plenty to do and see. Previous years included Bytowne Fire Brigade, 501st Legion, face painting, and caricatures. Check back this summer for an updated list of this year's activities.
