Relay teams comprised of the general public, fire departments, companies, nonprofits, and more will take on our modified firefighter skills-based course tackling what are known as the Five Essential Functions™ of America's fire service.  All in the name of charity and fun, each race will allow participants to experience a modified version of the physical demands of real-life firefighting by climbing the five-story tower, hoisting, chopping, dragging hoses, and rescuing a life-sized, 110-pound “victim” as participants race against themselves, their opponents, and the clock.
