The first-ever National Fire Authority rugby sevens tournament was hailed as a success.
Two hundred fire fighters from NFA's sixteen stations in Fiji competed in the tournament which ended yesterday at the John Wesley College grounds in Raiwaqa, Suva.
NFA acting chief executive Jone Koroi said the tournament was organised for a get together.
"The main objective of this tournament was to get all the fire fighters together to know each other and to enhance their physical fitness levels which will benefit the fire service delivery as well as bring out good sportsmanship and potential rugby stars in the fire industry.
"Since the establishment of the National Fire Authority a lot of recruits from 1996 to 2009 have been deployed to various stations and never in the history of NFA have our fire fighters met or come together," Koroi said.
"The only time they've met each other was during the recruitment phase.
"Fire fighters and volunteer fire fighters from all the NFA stations came together to be part of this historical sporting event organised by NFA.
"It was a good time for the NFA fire fighters to bond together and their support and dedication has made the tournament a success," Koroi added.
NFA Navua won the inaugural tournament when their side defeated NFA Nausori One 12-5 in the final. Navua pivot Petero Delasau converted a try in the second half to help the NFA Navua side win the tournament.
