About the Championships
The modern series of the NSW Firefighter Championships have been held across the state for more than 70 years.
Championships are designed to hone the firefighting skills of the thousands of firefighters who participate each year. Events are based on current firefighting practice with an emphasis on training various scenarios encountered in today’s fire and emergency response, as has been the long tradition of the Championships.
As fire engines and equipment are upgraded and modernised, new events are adopted and others deleted. The introduction of the breathing apparatus and rescue events, for example, provides firefighters with another way to practice life-saving skills.
Staged over a two year period, the championships consist of ten “Regional” weekend championships and culminate in the Australasian Championships and NSW State Championships, held in alternate years.
