FireFit Team Relay
To compete in the FireFit Relay a team must consist of 3 to 5 individuals who will complete one or more of the six Tasks. All competitors wear full turnout gear (helmet, coat and pants with liners, boots and gloves) and wear but do not breathe from a Scott NxG2 SCBA. Competitors provide their own NFPA approved structural fire fighting turnout gear. Scott NxG2 Air-Paks (SCBA) will be provided.
A coin toss will determine the lane (Yellow Or Red Course) that the team will run on. The team is then pre-positioned in their assigned locations. Variations apply, but each task must be completed before exchanging the flashlight. Exchanges are grasp to grasp. You may not touch any piece of equipment prior to the exchange. A 2 second penalty is given for each infraction. The flashlight may not be put in the mouth at anytime.
The 6 Tasks are as follows:
1st Task: Stair Climb with High Rise Pack.
With flashlight in hand carry a high-rise pack, 4 foot bundle of 4 inch hose weighing 42 pounds, to the sixth floor. The hose load must be deposited in the designated area. The second competitor is already positioned at the top of the tower. Once the first competitor reaches the top of the tower, has one foot on the top platform and deposits the pack in the designated area, he may then pass off to the second competitor. |

2nd Task: Hose Hoist
From the top of the tower, using a hand over hand motion, pull a 5/8 inch rope to hoist a donut roll of Angus LDH hose (45 pounds). This Task is complete when the donut roll clears the rail and is placed in the designated area at the top of the tower. Proper placement is on or in the container, with no part of the donut roll touching the deck. The donut roll must not leave the top platform; otherwise it will result in disqualification. Competitors 5'6" and under are allowed to stand on the high-rise pack, no penalty will be assessed these competitors. Competitor #2 then retrieves and passes off the flashlight, or continues down the tower touching every stair and using the handrails. Once the competitor has both feet on the ground he/she passes off to competitor #3 who is on or moves to the force machine. |

5th Task: Hose Advance
Competitor #4 Shoulders a 1 3/4 inch fully charged Angus Hi-Combat hoseline and drag it 75 feet. Once the nozzle crosses the 75 foot mark, the competitor opens the nozzle, hits the designated target with the stream of water, shuts the nozzle and places it on the ground. If the nozzle is not shut before it is placed down, the competitor must go back and close it before passing the flashlight. Failure to do so results in a 5 second penalty. Once the hose advance is complete Competitor #4 moves to Competitor #5, who is stationed between the target and victim, and passes off the flashlight. Note: if the nozzle opens again after it hits the ground, there is no penalty and Competitor #4 can continue. |
