Competitions in functional fire multiathlon were held in Zelenodolsk
This is the fourth time that firefighters have held these relatively new competitions with elements of power sports. Recall that for the first time the so-called "fire crossfit" was held in Zelenodolsk in 2018. Lifting weights, barbells, turning the tire of a car wheel, winding main lines, carrying loads and the victim and moving the car behind the rope-some of these strength exercises have been included in the mandatory program of competitions, which are now held in all divisions of the republic.
The current competitions among the territorial divisions, organized at the FRU-52 training base, were attended by 18 of the strongest employees of the units of the 8th fire and rescue squad.
All the strength exercises were performed by the participants in full firefighter equipment and with a breathing apparatus behind their backs. This is not an easy task. However, it is precisely such and even much more serious loads that firefighters experience in real fires. As a result, according to the results of all the races, the best time with the least number of penalty points was shown by the firemen of FRU-115 (Kaibitsky). The second place was taken by employees from 133 fire and rescue units (Tetyushy). And the third result went to the representatives of FRU-111 (Buinsk).
Now the teams that took the first and second places will defend the honor of the 8th fire and rescue squad at the republican final, which will be held on September 30 in Apastovo.
