Carstairs Fire Department retained its title of tug of war champions at the Carstairs Heritage Festival last week.
One of their two teams was able to beat both Crossfield firefighter teams and the Carstairs Elks team.
Nick Swalm, the fire prevention officer for the Carstairs Fire Department, is excited that they can keep the trophy in their fire department.
"We've been a part of it now for several years, it's always a lot of fun to compete, and great when you're up against people you know as well."
"Crossfield fire (department) came out this year for the first time and challenged us and the RCMP, peace officers and EMS that we work very closely with on a day-to-day basis, put together a team and came out as well. So it's always a lot of fun to compete against them, and even sweeter when you can win it. "
He shared that it is always great to be a part of community events.
"We love Carstairs and enjoy being able to help in the community. We enjoy any opportunity we can to get out and work with the public and have fun with them as well."
Carstairs plans on retaining their title once again next year.
