Beautiful downtown Fort Pierce once again served as the backdrop to the U.S National Firefighter Challenge, September 22nd through September 24th, 2022. Hundreds converged on the parking lot of the Manatee Observation & Education Center, A.E Backus Museum & Art Gallery, and the 7 Gables House to cheer on the reigning hometown champs as they defended the national title!
