The New Taipei City Dragon Boat Race kicked off at Nanliao Old Fishing Port on June 10, 2024, with over 800 participants from 67 teams competing for top honors. However, the New Taipei City Fire Department, a frequent winner in dragon boat races, unexpectedly withdrew from the competition due to two firefighters sacrificing their lives in a fire accident. There were varying opinions within the department, leading to the decision to maintain unity and withdraw from the race despite the team's desire to continue.
