British Firefighter Challenge

The British Firefighter Challenge is a fitness competition for Firefighters from all over the world. Our 2016 event in Nottingham saw competitors from the UK, Germany, Austria, Croatia and even Kuwait challenge for the honours.

The event demonstrates a variety of operational duties such as stair running, hauling aloft, forcible entry, hose running, equipment carries and casualty rescues; highlighting the rigours which firefighters cope with when dealing with incidents.

There is a community engagement opportunity surrounding each event. The local Fire and Rescue Services provide a Community Safety campaign with information for all ages, including Fire Safety, Road Safety and Water Safety. There is entertainment for the families with Fire Engines, Games and even a local celebrity mascot! And we encourage all our spectators to donate generously to the Firefighters Charity that help the lives of all serving and retired firefighters, fire personnel and their families through any hardship such as injury or bereavements.

The British Firefighter Challenge 2017 will take place at De Montfort University - Leicester; voted the Sporting City of 2016 in the UK. Leicester is home to the Premier League Champions, one of England's most successful rugby clubs, the country's oldest basketball club, an ambitious cricket club, and a very successful women's hockey club - http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=17366627
