Category Name:Annual Event

In 1982, children from the same elementary school formed the Boys Firefighting Club. They display their skills to the community at the annual firefighters event in the New Year, as well as at school sports festivals. Such demonstrations involve climbing up a 3-meter high ladder, supported by eight members, to perform eight skills one after another. Once such skill is the ‘upside-down, suspended spread-eagle’.
