The Desert Hills Professional Firefighters Association hosted its second Annual Side by Side Poker Run Saturday morning, with 135 registered for the event. The winner was Brad Smith and he received $1,000. Anderson Toyota and Topock 66 were two of the major sponsors and the Side By Side Club were event volunteers.

The Desert Hills Professional Firefighters Association (DHPFFA) are a small group of dedicated firefighters who strive to protect the community they serve as well as those who visit year round.

The DHPFFA noticed a large number of off-road enthusiasts flocking to the area within the boundaries of the Desert Hills Fire District (DHFD). With off-road technology advancing as fast as any other industry, side by side manufacturers are developing vehicles that stretch beyond the limits of the Fire Districts rescue vehicle. Off road enthusiasts purchase these vehicles and travel great distances in a matter of minutes and travel roads that non-typical vehicles can travel that creates major concern for the first responders.

DHFD and DHPFFA members noticed major limitations of its equipment during an off road accident and they are being proactive to reduce those limitations to better protect the lives of enthusiasts in Lake Havasu City.

Lake Havasu’s Desert Storm Poker Run is taking place April 27th – 30th in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. Come see two hundred of the fastest high performance offshore powerboats competing at 200 mph! MTI will be participating at the Lake Havasu Poker Run and we hope you will come out to see us! If you get anything moving at around 180 mph and it crashes, it's going to crash hard. During the Desert Storm Poker Run speed boat race in Lake Havasu, Arizona, a boat traveling at nearly top speed wiped out. The crash was so severe, it ejected both occupants. Other racers immediately stopped and turned around to help their comrades.

“Thanks to the participation from last year’s event, we were able to purchase a Polaris Ranger 6 seater, a rescue skid, a trailer and some equipment for off road rescue,” according to the website.

The DHPFFA is currently organizing its second event to help raise more funds for the Fire District to continue its path to bring even better service to our off road response.
