EVENT 2: FIREFIGHTER DOWN! (12 min cap)

Teams will perform a blind search and rescue operation. Wearing blackened out goggles all team members must crawl to other side using a hose length as their guide. The course will have obstacles along the way to contend with, navigate over, under and through. Once the dummy is found, the team must bring the dummy back to the starting position.

EVENT 3: OLD SCHOOL FIRE BRIGADE (10 minute AMRAP)

Each member of the team must maneuver a weighted sled through a designated path simulating pulling a hand-drawn apparatus circa 1800. Once finished with the sled, they will grab an empty bucket and run to the community portable water tank area where they can fill their bucket. They will run through an obstacle course to fill their team’s trough. The course will include over, under, and climbing components. As each member completed the sled course, they will join their team mate in the bucket brigade. Eventually all 4 team members will be part of the bucket brigade and attempt to fill the trough as much as possible in the time allotted.

Scored on measurement of water into your team’s trough.
