The Irmo
Hi-Intensity Team (HIT) supports a variety of principled charities aimed
at improving the lives of people less fortunate. Some of the charities
closest to our cause include the families of fallen firefighters, the
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the Breast Cancer Foundation.
A HIT team member
demonstrates strength, stamina, dedication and compassion on a daily
basis.
A HIT team member is
an athlete. Though perhaps not always the fastest, we will always put
forth a tremendous effort.
A HIT team member is
an exemplary sport and an honorable competitor. We play fair and we
play by the rules, sometimes we even make up more rules to challenge
ourselves further.
HIT style events
include firefighter competitions, charity runs and walks, triathlons,
stair climbs, and many more. Sometimes you’ll see us in full
firefighting combat gear, other times it is not possible to wear that
heavy stuff. A HIT event may also be a little less intense as long as
it meets our mission, for example donating time to help an honorable
charity.
Participation in
events and charities with the HIT team is encouraged by all. It is our
goal to promote physical fitness as well as giving back to our
community, especially to those less fortunate. We invite firefighters,
their families and everyone else to join us in an event.
