International event call for competitor firefighters! Competitors are needed for INTERSCHUTZ 2010 "toughest fireman in the world" challenge
An absolute highlight of the supporting program and a big crowd favorite at INTERSCHUTZ involves the spectacular contest for the title of "toughest fireman in the world".
In 2005 more than 20,000 spectators witnessed this four-day event which drew 140 active participants to Hannover. The individual activities demand the utmost of contestants, who need to compete in full gear and give their all - and sometimes more.
Things are set to be even more exciting at INTERSCHUTZ 2010, as a new K.O. system has been introduced: two firemen will compete each time toe-to-toe, with the winner taking all.
And at the final station, which involves rushing to the top of a tower, spectators can watch the two contestants' every move all the way to the top.
