My Wiki Topic is the Firefighter's Combat Challenge. The Firefighter's Combat Challenge is a challenge in which fire firefighters throughout the country and internationally participate in and try to complete with the fastest time. Competition events include a Hose hoist, a hose advance, a stair climb with a high rise pack, victim rescue and more. The main reason for such events is to promote awareness of the physical elements fire fighters tasks are during a fire. This grueling activity is very harsh on both the mind and body of all the firefighters who participate. Another main goal of the Firefighter's combat challenge is to promote the physical conditioning of firefighters themselves. This challenge certainly can not be done by an average person whom does not participate in physical training everyday. It gives firefighters a goal to reach and a way for them to 'show off' their physical ability to the thousands of spectators that watch, both on ESPN and in the live audience.
