Firefighters enter our Arena to see who can complete the five (5) evolutions in the fastest time. We offer 3 primary categories to choose from: Individual (full course run), Tandem Team (course split in two), and Relay Team (one evolution per firefighter).
Stair Tower Climb with High-Rise Pack
It is the starting point of the course, where champions are born! Participants, waiting at the base of the tower, hear the alarm and begin their climb (run) up our 41 feet high, five (5) story Training Tower of stairs (63 steps) carrying a 42lb hose pack.
______________________________________________________
Snap-tite® Hose Hoist
Once at the top of the tower, participants hoist a 42lb hose donut roll from the ground up to the top of the tower placing it into the container on the top platform floor. They then turn around and descend the tower.
_______________________________________________________
Forcible Entry
Participants simulate a chopping motion using a 9.6lb dead blow hammer to force the 160lb Force Machine's steel beam a horizontal distance of 5 feet.
_______________________________________________________
Snap-tite® Hose Advance
Participants negotiate the 140-foot slalom course without missing or knocking over any delineator. They then pick up the nozzle end of a 1- 3/4 inch charged hose line and drag it 75 feet. Once the nozzle penetrates the swinging doors, they open the nozzle, aiming the stream to hit the target.
_______________________________________________________
Victim Rescue
Participants drag a 165lb Rescue Randy® manikin backwards a distance of 106 feet. The time officially stops when the rescue dummy completely crosses the finish line.
