We begin with the Bunker Gear Showdown – a timed gear-up and on-air challenge. Time penalties will apply for any infractions.
Simulated rescue of a trapped individual in a limited-visibility space.
Firefighters must navigate and escape from a confined obstacle course.
Breach a wall and follow a hoseline through obstacles to reach and package a downed firefighter, then return through the same course.
Rescue a firefighter through a narrow window using the “Denver Drill” technique.
Many of these drills are inspired by real-world firefighter training practices and have YouTube demonstrations available for reference.
These are training-based challenges and are assessed based on the procedural guidelines of your own department.
We understand that techniques may vary across departments, and judging reflects this flexibility.
This event is open to all VOLUNTEER firefighters. Career firefighters who want to participate, please reach out, as we need judges for the events
Final standings will be announced at the end of the challenge
Prizes and draws will be handed out at the end of the challenge.
