About Us

The MonctonMoves.Com Combat Challenge Team is a group of Moncton firefighters that go beyond the call of duty. No competitor is required to part take in the firefighter combat challenge. These individuals that have come and gone over the years have surpassed all physical requirements in the firefighter world to demonstrate their pure love and passion of a sport that mimics firefighting actions on the fire ground.

The Moncton Combat Challenge Team is a non profit group. The team raises funds throughout the year for the soul purpose of covering cost associated with FireFit challenges. During their yearly drive to raise money, the team will be donating a portion of their funds to the F.A.C.E. foundation (Firefighter against Cancer's Existence).

Our Tasks

Stair Climb with High Rise Pack

Pick up and carry a high-rise standpipe pack (2-50 foot sections of 1 3/4 inch hose (weighing approximate. 42 pounds) up six flights of stairs (a total of 60 steps). The hose load must then be deposited in a box on the top floor.

Hose Hoist and Stair Descent

From the top of the tower, using a hand over hand motion, pull a 5/8 inch rope to hoist a donut roll of LDH hose (45 pounds). This evolution is complete when the donut roll clears the rail and is dropped in the box on the floor. The competitor then descends the stairs, and must touch every one.

Forcible Entry

After descending the stairs the competitor must use a 9-pound shot mallet to drive a 165 pound I-beam a distance of five feet on the Keiser Force Machine. This event is complete when the end of the beam crosses the five foot line.

Obstacle Course and Hose Advance

Competitor must now run a distance of 140 feet through a series of hydrants in a zigzag pattern, pick up a nozzle and move a 1 3/4 inch charged hose straight forward for 75 feet, crack the nozzle, knock over the designated target, shut off the water and place the nozzle on the ground. Then go 30 feet to the next event.

Victim Rescue

The final task is to drag a 175 pound victim (SIMULAIDS's Rescue Randy) a distance of 100 feet. This event (and the course) is complete when both the victim and competitor completely cross the finish line.
