Competition Description
Two competitors will be racing each other, side by side, to get the fastest time and least amount of penalties. There will be seeding rounds culminating in a ‘top 16’ knockout round to find the ultimate winner per day for Doubles and top 8 female, top 8 male for individuals.

Donning a Fire and Emergency Medical Backpack, competitors will pick up a flaked hose and zig zag through a slalom of hyrdants. Dropping the flaked hose, they will pick up a mallet to drive a sled bean a horizontal distance on a Keiser Force Machine (chopping simulator) - simulating forced entry.

The flaked hose will be picked up again to zig zag back through the slalom to the start. Dropping the flaked hose in a box and picking up the branch end of a 41mm charged hose to run through swinging barn doors to open the branch to shoot water to knock over a target.

Shutting off the water and placing the branch on a mat, the 81kg mannequin is then dragged backwards to the finish line. The heel of the mannequin crossing the line will stop the clock.
