About British Firefighter Challenge
The British Firefighter Open Challenge is a firefighting competition which is open to firefighters from all over the world to enter.
British Firefighter Challenge Description
The British Firefighter Challenge is a fitness competition for operational Firefighters around the World. Running for our third successive year Firefighters have travelled from across the UK, Europe, even Kuwait, Canada and Australia to challenge for the honours of being crowned the British Firefighter Challenge champion!
Why was this UK event created?
There has been a huge amount of awareness surrounding the benefits of exercise on our Firefighters health over recent years. There has also been a big push to train specifically for the role of our jobs. The British Firefighter Challenge demonstrates the rigours of dealing with incidents, watch our 2017 Video - https://youtu. be /ACZ-R5HJZ8A
In 2017 our event was held in the heart of Leicester City. This major sports capital gave us great support and the venue at De Montfort University was outstanding, only equalled to amazing efforts from Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service and the local community that came along to cheer on their Firefighters.
Where is it in 2018?
The British Firefighter Challenge has grown both in size and enthusiasm. So much so, that the 2018 event will be held in the historic Bury St Edmunds at the Arc Shopping Centre. This competition has grown so strong we are now running a two-day event to accommodate the 200 Firefighters wishing to compete.
Can I watch?
Yes, it is FREE, so bring the whole family! Alongside the toughest three minutes in sport, is an exceptional array of entertainment, from the live DJ keeping competitors and crowd alike uplifted, there will Fire Engines, games and even a local celebrity mascot!
All we ask of our spectators is to donate generously. All monies raised at the British Firefighter Challenge go to the Firefighters Charity, helping rehabilitate operational or retired Firefighters, Fire personnel and families from illness, injury or psychological stresses placed upon them from life and death situations they face on a daily basis.

Sneak look at Watford’s Fire Museums pump that will be making (weather permitting) a guest appearance at this year event for all those that can remember the good old days. Over 80 years old and still a beautiful example of fire service history.

It’s International Women’s day today. Although at the BFC and Fire Services across the world we are one huge family it would be remiss of us to not celebrate the courage, strength and determination of the mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts and even grandmothers that have made our event, our services and community and the world what it.
Your community, prove you can protect them!#firefighter #crossfit #functional #fitness #fitnessmotivation #ukmuscle #cardio #ukfitfam #strength #gym #fatburn #motivation #fireservice #firefightersofinstagram #instafit #fitspo #TeamGB #ukfitness #trainhard #firefit #conditioning
