The Scott Firefighter Combat Challenge is returning to town on
May 18 & 19, 2012. Activities will begin on Friday, May 18, from 4 to 8
p.m. and on Saturday, May 19, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the parking area across
from the North Charleston American LaFrance Fire Museum and Educational Center.
Billed as "the toughest two
minutes in sports" that challenge, tests, and promotes firefighter fitness.
Its five events - the tower climb, hose hoist, forcible entry, hose advance and
victim rescue are meant to chronologically simulate an actual rescue situation
and illustrate the connection between fitness and performance.
There will also be a Kids' Challenge
for ages 4-11 that replaces the tower with a jump castle and serves as a
kid-friendly version of the competition. Local vendors will be selling food and
drinks.
