Stage 1

Setup of stage 1:

The stage shall be completed wearing a Breathing Apparatus Back Pack including Air Cylinder (No Mask)

Hose pulling:

Two B-type hoses will be placed to the left and right of the competitor per track. The hoses will be placed in loops and can only be pulled to full extension. At no time shall the competitor carry the hose.

Every hose consists of four coupled B-type hoses of 20 metre length with a B-type branch attached at the end. The loops will consist of a single hose length.

At the start of each track a fire appliance will be placed to couple the hose onto.

Hose rolling:

Each track will have two B-type hoses rolled out, at a distance of 50 cm (measured from the inside of the hose) from one another.

At the end of the track two hose boxes will be positioned to place the rolled-up hoses.

Procedure of stage 1:

Hose pulling:

1. The hoses will be coupled to the fire

Procedure of stage 3:

1. The ladder has to be placed within the markings and is to be leaned against the latching on point
2. Two foam concentrate canisters are to be carried up to the second floor and are to be placed within theirmarkings
3. Hose packet is to be pulledup
4. The two foam canisters are to be carried downstairs and placed within their
5. Branch is to be placed in monitor.

Total time:

Men: max. 5 Min.    (Not completing the stage within the time limit + 4 Min. penalty = 9 Min.) Woman: max. 6 Min. (Not completing the stage within the time limit + 4 Min. penalty = 10 Min.)
