The third-annual Hoosier Emergency Response Olympics will be held May 12 at the Boone County Fire Emergency Training Center. The HEROS committee is made up of firefighters, fire service business owners and staff, Indiana’s fire marshal and state staff and secondary and post-secondary fire school program administration.
The program is designed to give students enrolled in career technical education centers and explorer posts an opportunity to demonstrate the skills that they have developed in their programs and compete against other programs across the state. Competitive events consist of five fire-fighting and two EMS scenarios.
The event kicks off with a social activity May 11 at the Boone County Fairgrounds. Opening ceremonies commence May 14 at 8 a.m. The competition will follow and conclude around 4 p.m. with an awards ceremony to follow.
