The Flagler County Fire Rescue won the 2024 September Fire Truck Pull, reclaiming its title.
This is the fourth annual Truck Pull, which supports the AdventHealth Pink On Parade 5K and one-mile, pet-friendly fun walk. The Pink on Parade is on Oct. 6 and begins and ends at AdventHealth Palm Coast at 60 Memorial Medical Parkway.
The Fire Truck Pull was held at the Sept. 17 Food Truck Tuesday at Palm Coast's City Hall building. This is the FCFR's second win, after having defeated the other first responder teams in 2022. The county's team pulled the pink Flagler County Fire Rescue engine in just 9.3 seconds, according to a Facebook post by the Palm Coast Parks and Recreation department.
The Palm Coast Fire Department won the 2023 and 2021 Fire Truck Pulls, while the Junior Palm Coast Fire Fighters won the first Fire Truck Pull in 2020. This year the following organizations participated: the FCFR, the Flagler County Sheriff's Office, the Junior Palm Coast Fire Fighters, the PCFD and the Bunnell Police Department.
The Pink on Parade 5K raises money for breast cancer awareness and 100% of the proceeds raised by the 5K goes towards "supporting mammograms, breast ultrasounds, stereotactic breast biopsies, education and other specific diagnostic services to aid in the early detection of breast cancer," according 5K's registration site.
