Forney Fire Department members compete in Firefighter Combat Challenge Lion's Invitational
Arlington, Texas – Nearly 40 teams, including individuals, competed in the Scott Firefighter Combat Challenge Lion's Invitational on January 3, 2014, which was held in conjunction with the 2014 Cotton Bowl Classic college football game between Missouri and Oklahoma State.

Five members of the Forney Fire Department, team "Forney Combat", were among those 40 teams invited to compete after their stellar performance at the Scott Firefighter Combat Challenge World Finals in Las Vegas, Nevada, last year. The teams competed in a series of events that simulate an actual fire emergency including a five-story tower climb, hose hoist, keiser simulator, hose drag, and a "dummy" rescue.

The team competed against teams from all over the United States and Canada including the Arlington, Farmers Branch, and McKinney Fire Departments from the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. The competition announcer drew laughs from the crowd when Forney Combat went head-to-head against Farmers Branch and introduced Forney's Russell Bannister as having the 2013 Scott Firefighter Combat Challenge mustache of the year.

In the Round of 16 of the Lion's Invitational, the Forney Combat team finished 11th place with a relay time of 33.73. The Forney Combat team includes Forney firefighters Lt. David Lawson, Russell Bannister, Ryan Elder, Josh Everett, and Tyler Sullivan.
