It’s official, with the COVID-19 pandemic’s restrictions being lifted, The Burk's Falls & District Historical Society and the Township of Armour are proud to host the third Firefighter Challenge on

Saturday, July 9, 2022. This event will be held in conjunction with our Heritage Day Celebration and take place at noon on the Watt Field.

We welcome back our five competing fire departments: Burk's Falls, Kearney, Magnetawan, McMurrich/Monteith and Perry and is a competition based on fire fighting tasks that are commonly performed in emergency situations. The event is free for the public to attend.

New for 2022, the fire departments will be hosting a mini challenge, titled “Crawl, Drag, Squirt”. The course will provide a family-friendly challenge that will capture the enthusiasm of children and channeling it in a positive direction. As a bonus, they will be recognized and awarded for their participation.
