Firefighter Combat Challenge
After a two-year hiatus, the UFBA is pleased to bring the long-awaited Firefighter Combat Challenge back for our members.
The UFBA NZ Firefighter Combat Challenge seeks to encourage Firefighter fitness and demonstrate the rigours of firefighting to the public.
Wearing full bunker gear and breathing from a BA set, each competitor simulates the physical demands of real life firefighting, as they race against each other and the clock, by performing a series of 5 tasks over a prescribed course. The tasks are:
- Climbing a 6 storey tower carrying a length of 70mm 19kg flaked hose
- Hoisting a 70mm hose coil 6 storeys
- Chopping using a 4Kg Shot Hammer to drive a beam 1.5metres
- Extending a charged length of 45 mm hose to knock down a disc
- Dragging a life sized dummy a distance of 30.5m
