The Test

Three Pillars of a Firefighter

Every event is designed around the real demands of the fireground — the stamina to endure, the strength to carry, and the agility to move.

01

Fitness

Cardio capacity, recovery and work-rate under load. Endurance events that reward engines, not egos.

02

Strength

Raw power where it counts — carries, drags, presses and pulls that mirror the weight of the job.

03

Agility

Footwork, balance and body control through obstacles and confined-space courses built for speed.
