What is the Combat Challenge?
The Challenge seeks to encourage firefighter fitness and demonstrate the profession's rigors to the public. Wearing "full bunker gear" and the SCOTT Air-Pak breathing apparatus, pairs of competitors simulate the physical demands of real-life firefighting by performing a linked series of five tasks including climbing the 5-story tower, hoisting, chopping, dragging hoses and rescuing a life-sized, 175 lb. "victim" as they race against themselves, their opponent and the clock.
Event sponsors are currently being sought for the two-day event
to be held October 17th & 18th, 2008. Over 300 competitors
from across the world will be competing with over 10,000
spectators attending the event.
