Niagara Falls Firefighter Takes on World’s Strongest Firefighter Challenge

Niagara Falls Firefighter Paul Emmick is training this winter to participate in the World’s Strongest Firefighter contest, scheduled to be held between March 1st - 2nd.

With a 20-year background in power lifting and strongman training, Emmick has honed his strength, which is essential in his role at the fire department.

Becoming a firefighter two years ago allowed him to fulfill a personal aspiration of assisting those in need. This passion to make a difference was ignited following his brother's death from a drug overdose in 2015.

Contestants in the World's Strongest Firefighter event must demonstrate strength by lifting 250 pound kegs and sand bags above their heads.

Good luck, Paul!!
