The 2025 Firefighter Challenge will be held in Brunner. More information coming soon.
Are you ready for the toughest two minutes in sport?
The Firefighter Challenge is like a Firefighter ‘Iron Man’ contest and is the most physically demanding of our Challenges – so crossing the finishing line is all the more rewarding! It’s earned the reputation of being ‘the toughest two minutes in sport’.
Wearing full bunker gear and breathing from a BA set, competitors race against each other and the clock in a series of tasks across the course. The five tasks are:
- Climbing a 3 storey tower carrying a length of 70mm 19kg flaked hose
- Hoisting a 70mm hose coil 3 storeys
- Chopping using a 4kg shot hammer to drive a beam 1.5 metres
- Extending a charged length of 45mm hose to knock down a disc
- Dragging a life sized dummy a distance of 30.5m
The competition is a great test of skill and fitness and simulates the physical demands of real life firefighting to the public. We encourage new competitors and you’ll meet a competitive, but supportive and positive, family of firefighters from across the country at each event.
