Tribute to Mr Trevor Pateman
My name is Jean Lussier, retired-firefighter of the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I participate in the World Firefighters Games since 1990, the first ones. They were held in the city of Auckland in New Zealand. I have never missed one.

  • Nick Barker Its Bognor Regis UK isnt it??!! Only kidding. I love the adventure of long hauls but the last two have been Korea and Australia so I'd maybe go for something a little bit closer to England. But not too close. Are we allowed to know who is competing when the bids are in, or is it a complete surprise til they open the magic gold envelope?

As the newly elected CEO of the World Firefighters Games I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of all of our friends and supporters to thank Trevor and Margie for the amazing job they have done over the past 25 years. I’m sure you will all join me in wishing them well in their retirement as we all know they have earned it.

5 Firefighters of the Gangwon Province Fire Service, Chuncheon City South Korea, were killed recently on their way back to their camp after they had finished their mission related to the Sewol Ferry accident. They sacrificed their lives to avoid the helicopter crashing into the downtown area to save citizens' lives. One of those who died was a very good friend of this Organization "Seong Cheol" (bottom left) and was a keen supporter of the World Firefighters Games. Our thoughts and prayers are with these five courageous men, their families, friends and their work colleagues. May you all rest in peace.

We recently sent out approx 10,000 emails to all former Games participants on our mailing list and by rights we should have received 10,000 replies back - not so!! To ensure the continuity of the Games, it is essential that ALL former and future participants email their name, email address and country of origin to worldfire@worldfirefightersgames.com. Completing this task will ensure we have your current contact details so that you receive important updates relating to future Games. Many thanks, World Firefighters Games Governing Body.

To the registered competitors of the cancelled LA Games (to which the World Firefighters Games Governing Body is not associated - 1990-2012), we have provided you with as much information as we can to help repair the damage done by the LA organiser. If Firefighters from around the world want to return the original World Firefighters Games to their former glory, now is the time to act! To secure the continuance of the original World Firefighters Games, please email your name, email address and country to worldfire@worldfirefightersgames.com.

To all of those that are still travelling to the US after the debacle of LA 2104 we don't know if this can help due to your travel arrangments but the CAN-AM-Police-Fire Games are to be held in Pennsylvania (its on the East Coast) from July 13-20 as we said before LA was not our fault but we will do whatever we can to help our friends and followers. Please don't forget we need you to promote the interest for WFG 2016. .http://www.yorkcanamgames.com/
