Fire began playing flyball in June 2010, days after her first birthday. She was selected to a 2010 Green Dream Team and a 2015 Tribute Team in Region 13. She quickly became a solid and essential team dog with a PB time of 4.4 seconds. Fire could run in any position and was often used to help train new/green dogs coming up in flyball. Fire amassed many significant flyball accomplishments. These include:
- 2011 – 2016, placed in the top 30 of Top Point Earning Dogs,

Fire ran with 130 different dogs – among 12 different clubs, and participated in 185 tournaments in 17 states/provinces. People knew when she was in the building because they could hear Chris yelling “FIRE!!!”. Fire passed away in May 2017 after a brief illness. She accumulated 122,322 points with 34,775 multibreed points. But what we wouldn’t give to hear Chris yell “FIRE!!!” just one more time.
