First Ever CAFC Firefighter Challenge

The first ever CAFC Firefighter Challenge will be held at this year's annual conference in Montego Bay, Jamaica November 16 - 20, 2009. Fire Chiefs and their Deputy Chiefs in the Caribbean have been notified to start the selection process now. Trophies, medals and cash prizes to be awarded - but who will win the challenge!
The CAFC Firefight Challenge Course

The challenge course is a series of firefighting events performed by each individual competitor, designed to simulate various aspects of the daily life saving work of the firefighter.

Every competitor must be from a Caribbean Association of Fire Chiefs member nation and show proof of firefighter training from their assigned Station Training Officer, Fire Chief, Deputy Fire Chief or other such duly assigned officer. They must also sign a liability waiver form before competing. This is a time based competition for the best time. The course is run in full bunker gear and filled SCBA (mask on).

Notification of intent to send firefighters to compete in this year's Firefighter Challenge event in Jamaica at the CAFC November event (16 - 20) must be made by October 31, 2009.

The cash prize awards for this event totals $3,500 USD.
