The
Toughest 2 Minutes in Sports! As seen on
TSN,
ESPN2 and Versus - the
Firefighter Combat Challenge was developed to showcase physical fitness, inside and outside the fire service. The
Challenge is about people doing their job safer and better. 3 to 5 person teams compete individually against the clock. The Challenge tasks are timed and completed sequentially.
The event features Windsor’s “Team Parker Construction” who are 2-time World Champions and 5-time Canadian Champions. The Windsor team is competing in the Firefighter Combat Challenge for its 13th year. During this time, the team has donated their season winnings to
Windsor Fire & Rescue Services - totalling more than $130,000 worth of fire equipment.
