Fire-applied (or rescue) sport is a special type of physical activity of a service nature. It consists in the implementation of sets of exercises, the study of techniques that are used in practice when fighting fires. Competitions are held both in individual and in group classification.
Program Basics
There is a whole system of events (the types of these competitions will be described each separately), which without fail includes fire-applied sports.
Attack
It involves climbing a window on the fourth floor of the training tower using stairs. These competitions are held in a certain sequence. The athlete must take a position, standing in front of the starting line, which is drawn from the base of the training tower, it is strictly forbidden to step on it. Allowed to take the assault ladder with your hands in a comfortable position. The participant can start on a signal and has the right to use any method to raise the tower floors without disturbing the rest. The competition conditions prohibit the discharge of stairs from a standing position on a windowsill. The participant will finish when he steps on the floor of the court with both feet and closes the contact device.
Overcoming a 100 meter obstacle course
These competitions are held in the following sequence:
- The athlete takes a position in front of the starting line without touching it. In this case, the participant holds the barrel, which can be in any position.
- During the run along the route it is necessary to overcome the fence, take the sleeves, overcome the boom, fasten the sleeves together. Then you need to get to the branching, attach a line from the sleeves to it and lay it. You can go over the fence without focusing on the slopes and racks. Sleeves are allowed to be moved as you like. The jointing of the connecting heads themselves to the trunk and branching is allowed to occur in the process of both stopping and moving. If a jump from the log is made before the limiter, the athlete must pass this test first. Branches cannot be moved from their location.
- All connecting heads must be closed after finishing.
- The result will not be counted if, during the immediate completion of the stage, the participant did not hold the hose line in such a way that the judges would be able to assess the correctness of the jointing of the connecting heads at the barrel and sleeve.
- It is forbidden to touch the sleeves after the start signal sounds.
When the imaginary finish touches any part of the body, with the exception of the head, neck, arms and legs, the finish is fixed.
Biathlon
This view is a competition that combines both of the above. The determination of the results takes place by calculating the amount of time set by the participants in both competitions for the individual championship, but is not counted in the overall team classification.
Fire relay
This competition is held in four stages of 100 meters each. In it, any participant can run only one stage. A fire barrel is used for relaying. The last participant must overcome the finish line with the trunk. When the imaginary finish touches the last participant, the part of the body, with the exception of the head, neck, arms and legs, the team finishes.
Combat deployment
In this competition, starting, athletes overcome the distance to the shield on which the equipped fire-fighting equipment is located. Then the trunk is connected to the branching and motor pump, after which two lines are laid along one sleeve, while the trunks stand in position in front of the limiter (45 meters relative to the center of the shield). At the same time, it is necessary to connect the suction sleeve to the motor pump and the intake net, provided that the latter must be connected to the suction sleeve before it is immersed in a container of water. After the general finish, the judges check the correct connection of the sleeve with the net. Then the motor pumps are turned on. After that, water is taken from the tank to supply it along the hose lines. The competition is over if the trunk workers managed to fill the tanks of both targets with a volume of 10 liters.

Emergence and development
Fire-applied sport began its existence back in the days of the Soviet Union. In the distant 1937, the first competitions were held. Their participants were workers of the NKVD USSR. In addition to the main types of competitions, athletics, shooting and gymnastic elements were added to the program. Firefighting was officially recognized in 1964 - then the Federation was formed by this type. The following year, the first world championship was already held in the city of Leningrad. In 2001, the Sports Federation of Rescuers and Firefighters (International Class) appeared in Russia. In April 2002, a tournament on the sport in question took place in Zelenogorsk. He was international in nature. The Asian Cup was played at this tournament. In September of the same year, 2002, the 1st World Championship among rescuers and firefighters was held in Moscow. The first youth world championship in 2010 was held in Kazan. This is how fire-applied sports developed in Russia. Women began to actively participate in competitions only recently - since 2013. Until that time, it was a men's sport.
