Garland Department of Defense Fire Academy, Goodfellow Air Force Base, Texas, Sept. 9, 2023. Teams of five, made up of students and instructors, competed in a timed obstacle course that consisted of carrying a fire hose up a five-story tower, hoisting tools up a tower using a rope, hitting a 158-pound Keiser sled with a nine-pound sledgehammer, aiming an active fire hose at a target, and hauling a mannequin across the obstacle course.
