British Firefighter Challenge

The British Firefighter Challenge is a sporting competition which is open to firefighters from all over the world to enter. Why was this UK event created?

The British Firefighter Challenge is a fitness competition for operational and retired Firefighters around the World. Created in 2016 Firefighters have travelled from across the UK, Europe, even Kuwait, India, USA, Canada and Australia to challenge for the honours of being crowned the British Firefighter Challenge champion! There has been a huge amount of awareness surrounding the benefits of exer

cise 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 whilst also breaking down stereotypes, creating a platform for many male and female Firefighters from all backgrounds to celebrate their differences and come together with amazing camaraderie.

Since our inaugural event in Nottingham 2016, we have hosted in Leicester 2017, Bury St Edmunds 2018 and Watford 2019. Covid-19 put a stop to Firefighter Challlenges in 2020 but we were back in 2021 at the heart of the UK Fire Service’s at the Fire Service College in Moreton in Marsh, followed by our biggest event to date taking place in Hull 2022! The British Firefighter Challenge has grown both in size and enthusiasm, we are now running a two-day event to accommodate the 250 Firefighters wishing to compete. We cannot wait to invite you to Manchester 2023…

Can I watch? Yes, it is FREE to spectate, so bring the whole family! We will also be streaming the event live for those who can't make it in person so please keep an eye on our website www.britishfirefighterchallenge.co.uk and on our social media channels for the links. 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, Community Safety activities and even a junior Firefighter Challenge for the kids to try! 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.

What an exciting week last week. Not only did the BFC help run the Firesport UK at Sheffield but we also built the BFC tower at the Fire Service College at Moreton in Marsh.

The tower has been put up early to allow us to run training sessions, on the tower as well as with the other components of the BFC course.

Standby for further information on when sessions will be running.

Huge thank you to
who are the Backbone of our tower builds for without those guys things just don’t happen!!
Shout out to Danny, Naz, Damien Jed and Allen.. your support is invaluable.

fantastic crane operators who made our build that much more easier.

Last the tower crews who are always working behind the scenes to make the BFC possible.
