My niece, Carly, is a most remarkable woman. Her father never had a son, but had four daughters. That did not stop him from bringing out the characteristics in his children that he admired, that of strength, endurance, and competitiveness. Carly excels at all three. Her career is truck (big rig) driving. Her second job is being one of only three female firefighters in the Abbotsford Fire Department. Her other passions in life are working out, riding her bicycle great distances when she is not driving or fighting fires, and now competing in Strongman competitions. Her theme in life is that anything a guy can do, she can do better.
She entered her second Strongman/Strongwoman competition in Kamloops this summer and this is a snapshot of what she did there.
Flipping a monster tire to the finish line
Pressing weights
Pulling big pick-up trucks
Lifting more weights
Hauling more weights
Using her shoulders
And grinning from ear to ear when she achieves first place in her division
She can stand proud among the strongest people in BC
Did I mention that she is intelligent, friendly, funny, and has the sweetest personality? Just don't challenge her to a bike race. She will humiliate you.

She is awesome!
But you are mistaken as she is not the only female firefighter in our city.
I have corrected it. Thanks.
Wow! That is one strong woman! I am forwarding this to my daughter, Amy, who lives in Kamloops and will be very impressed with her accomplishments!
