tuscaloosa firefighter combat challenge team
The Tuscaloosa Firefighter Combat Challenge Team has linked up with Crossfit Innovate for 2011. As the team’s official strength and conditioning source, Crossfit Innovate has joined the Challenge Team in its mission to promote physical fitness and wellness among the fire service.
The team consists of professional firefighters from the City of Tuscaloosa who compete on the Scott Firefighter Combat Challenge tour. The men compete as individual, two man tandem, and relay teams. The 2010 relay team finished in the top 32 in the world in its first year.
The Challenge seeks to encourage firefighter fitness and demonstrate the profession’s rigors to the public. Wearing “full bunker gear” and the SCOTT Air-Pak breathing apparatus, pairs of competitors race head-to-head as they simulate the physical demands of real-life firefighting by performing a linked series of five tasks including climbing the 5-story tower, hoisting, chopping, dragging hoses and rescuing a life-sized, 175 lb. &ldquovictim&rdquo as they race against themselves, their opponent and the clock.
