Three local firefighters who formed part of the only South African team invited to compete in the World Rescue Extrication Challenge clinched overall 15th place, deeming the opportunity to face-off against top international extricaters and fly the flag on a global stage as a proud moment to be a Helderberger.
A vehicle-extrication team within the City of Cape Town’s Fire and Rescue Services, the Cape Town Destroyers, jetted off to Lanzarote in Spain, where they are competing with other international teams in the World Rescue Challenge, which takes place from Monday 16 to Saturday 21 October.
