MIDNIGHT ALARM

Object: As a team, get dressed the quickest and put out the “fire”.

On command of “GO”, the first firefighter will don all his/her protective gear and when completely suited up (per the judge) exit their area and then touch the next person in line. Each firefighter does the same in succession. The last firefighter to dress must then extinguish the “fire” at the end of the course. The team with the quickest total time wins.

Your equipment needed:

Each firefighter must provide for him/herself

□ Bunker pants

□ Turnout coat

□ Boots

□ Hood

□ Gloves

□ Helmet
