SCBA is provided and must be worn by all participants. Competitors may use their own face piece, no modifications to the face piece are permitted. Competitors must finish the event without running out of air. The spirit of the FireFit Event is to showcase the demands of Fire Fighting. It is a fire fighting competition and you are to be dressed as you would be at the scene of a fire. All competitors must compete in protective equipment. All turnout gear must be labelled for structural firefighting, including boots, helmet, gloves, pants & jacket and must have NFPA 1971 labels attached. Modification of gear null and voids the NFPA rating and will disqualify the gear from use on the course. Gear will be visually inspected and approved for use prior to race. All gear must be in good condition with no holes, rips, missing liners, no frayed hems etc. Helmets must be complete including inner thermal liner. NFPA Labels must still be attached. The face shield may be removed and the balaclava is not required for competition. Painting of helmets is allowed no other adjustments or additions may be made.

Boot Requirements

Competitor boots must meet all of the following requirements. All boots must be labeled NFPA 1971 structural fire fighting boots. Heels must be 1/2" to 1" high, minimum 90 - 135 degree angle. Boots must be in good condition with no modifications allowed. Gear must be worn in the same manner it would be as at the scene of a fire. Resoled boots must be done so with approved NFPA 1971 vibram soles. The soles that meet this standard are: Montagna, Olympia. Any other sole is not allowed. Inspectors will inspect all gear prior to participation and make official rulings on all questions regarding the gear to be used on the race course. Competitors must start and finish the course with all equipment, i.e. SCBA, turnouts, helmet, gloves & boots. If any article is lost or dropped in the course of the competition a competitor must retrieve the item and replace it correctly before continuing. Unfortunately disqualification will result if items are not replaced.
