Rookies take on Firefighter Combat Challenge
Competitors wait their turn to run the grueling course, often called the "toughest two minutes in sports." Competitors in the Rookie Firefighter Challenge must carry a 45-pound hose up five stories, hoist another 45-pound toolbox the same distance, move a 150-pound block of solid steel eight feet using only a sledgehammer, dodge fire hydrants, pull a charged 1 2/3-inch hose 100 feet and drag a 165-pound dummy more than 100 feet to the finish line.
