Road to the Firefighter's Throwdown
Donation protected
All potential winning from competition will be donated to the Burn Foundation....
Prince George’s County Fire Fighter/Medic Technician Katherine P. "Katie" Johnson has never turned down an athletic challenge. Some of her past competitions include a Flugtag team member, Iron Team Challenges, Sand Work, and she participates in distance runs and any other sport fitness event she can find. Katie also assists with the Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT), a challenging process undertaken by candidates vying for a career with the Prince George’s County Fire/Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Department. This past April, Fire Fighter/Medic Technician Katie Johnson, currently assigned to the Applicant Investigative Group in Capitol Heights, was awarded a Fire/EMS Department Gold Medal for Excellence in EMS Care and named the 2013 Paramedic of the Year.
Fire Fighter/Medic Technician Johnson is one of only a hundred firefighters selected as a contender in a nationwide challenge, “The Firefighter Throwdown.” She will represent the Fire/EMS Department in the competition, which was created to give physically fit, enthusiastic, and competitive firefighters the opportunity to compete on a national level in the Sport of Fitness. The goal is to provide firefighter athletes an avenue to showcase their skills and fitness levels—no matter the athlete’s age, sex or geographic location.
Although Fire Fighter/Medic Johnson will be representing PGFD at the Firefighter Throwdown, she is primarily responsible for expenses associated with her participation this event, i.e. airfare, hotel, and food. Therefore, I am seeking sponsors and/or donations to assist with the costs. Since I initially presented this challenge to Katie and suggest she consider participating, I am making the first donation.
