Training….. Its not always fun; Its not always glamorous but it is a necessary part of what we do. Its a requirement to insure that you are the best at what you do, no matter what it is. I know you are aware of sports team training, military training and other types of training that are required for certain jobs, but you may not be aware of the training that firefighters go through.

The challenge with training is to make it so that everyone wants to participate and give their all, but how do you make training realistic, focused on the tasks you will perform and make it exciting?

The Scott Firefighter Combat Challenge focuses on 5 skills that firefighters perform at fire scenes on a routine basis. Walking up 5 flights of stairs might be a challenge but doing it with 50 pounds of gear on while wearing an air mask over your face and carrying 30 pounds of hose is only the beginning of this competition.
