FireFit NxG2 Relay Description

This is a 2 person Technical Race and features a cylinder exchange at the halfway point. This Race is fast but demands concentration and team work. Each Team Member does one half of the course (front or back) and working together completes an NxG2 'Quick Change' of an air cylinder.

Categories in 2009 will include: Open, Women’s, Over 40, Over 50 and Mixed (male/female). Team members must be from the same Department.

1st Task: Wearing NFPA Structural Fire Fighting Gear Competitor #1 dons the Scott NxG2 Air Pak. Time starts when the NxG2 Pak is lifted off the matt and activates the start beam. Shoulder straps and hip straps must be secured before running the stairs.  The pack is set in a standard way for all Competitors.  All straps undone and cylinder upright and facing out.  All 4 straps need to be pulled and tightened after donning. No touching the Pak prior to the start.

2nd Task: Once the Pak is donned the Competitor runs up the tower using both hands to pull on the handrails.

3rd Task: Once at the top of the tower move to railing and pull up 45lb donut roll of Angus LDH hose. Pull donut roll up and over the railing and deposit in box.

4th Task: Move down the stairs touching all stair treads and using handrails.

5th Task: Move to the Forcible Entry Simulator and complete the chopping evolution.

6th Task: Move to the Bottle Exchange Area, where Competitor #2 is waiting to exchange your air cylinder. Competitor #2 is already donned with Air Pak harness (no bottle). Competitor #2 removes Competitor #1's NxG2 Air Cylinder and passes it to Competitor #1, who then inserts the NxG2 Air Cylinder into Competitor #2 harness, ensuring that the cylinder clip is secure and bottle is turned on. Competitor #2 is now able to begin their portion of the course.

7th Task: Competitor #2 runs 140' through the hydrants to the nozzle of a fully charged 1 3/4" Angus Hi-Combat hose line.

8th Task: Competitor #2 drags the hoseline a distance of 75'. Once the nozzle is across the line into the Nozzle Zone Competitor #2 opens the nozzle and strikes the target with the water stream. Once target is down and before proceeding to the next Task the nozzle must be closed and placed on the ground.

9th Task: Move to the 165 lb Simulaids Rescue Randy victim. Sit Randy up and lift and move him 100' backwards to the finish line. This Task (and the NxG2 Relay) is complete when Competitor #2 crosses the finish line and breaks the electronic beam therefore stopping the timing system.
