The Palm Coast Fire Department beat out a Flagler County Fire Rescue team in the fourth annual Fire Truck Pull competition on Sept. 19.

The competition took place outside of Palm Coast City Hall at Town Center. Ropes were hooked up to Flagler County's pink fire engine — a reserve truck painted pink for breast cancer awareness — and six to eight members of each agency raced to pull the truck 12 feet in the shortest amount of time, PCFD Lt. Patrick Juliano wrote in an email. 

The PCFD team pulled the truck the fastest, beating the FCFR team by milliseconds, according to an FCFR Facebook post. 

The Junior Firefighters won the first Fire Truck Pull in 2020, the PCFD won in 2021 and FCFR won it in 2022. 

The competition was held ahead of the AdventHealth Pink on Parade 5K, which will occur on Oct. 8, along with a pet walk.
