Something for every fitness level

You can compete individually, in tandem or in a relay with three to five members. The relay is a great way for sporty people to get into firefighting. Team spirit is required here and the cheers are loud. The breathing apparatus is worn "loosely" on the back - there is no mask or breathing air connection. The individual run is regarded as the supreme discipline because it really demands everything from the starter while wearing breathing protection.

These are the stations in the competition

  • Stair run up the HAIX Tower (three floors, twelve meters high) with a 19kg hose package over the shoulder
  • Pull up 19 kg hose package and run down the stairs
  • Hammering machine
  • Slalom course and hose pull with extinguishing attack
  • Simulation of a human rescue with 80kg dummy
