Two Phoenix firefighters took him big titles just days ago at The Arnold Classic. Daniel Camacho was named the Worldâs Strongest Firefighter and even got a shout-out from Arnold Schwarzenegger on Instagram.
âWe all grew up watching him, admiring him, so yeah, itâs hard to explain that feeling, you know,â said Camacho.
Phoenix Firefighter Joshua Murray also competed in The Arnold Classic. He won 3rd place for his weight class in powerlifting. âI was happy, but when they said I won a medal, I was just like, I could believe it,â said Murray.
The two firefighters spent years training inside the fire station gyms. âOne of the reasons I wanted to become a Phoenix firefighter was the first few Phoenix guys I saw were huge,â said Murray. âLifting has always been a huge part of my life, so when I looked into firefighting, I was like this is great,â said Camacho. â
