Running with a hose, climbing stairs and pulling ropes are all in days work for firefighters.
Buckhannon firefighters showed off their skills in the Scott Firefighter Combat Challenge August 20,2010, and qualified for the next level of the competition in Myrtle Beach.
"Our hard work finally paid off, all the effort we put in the last few months finally came down to this and made it all worth while," says team captain Ben Tacy.
"It was a lot harder than we expected," says firefighter Bryan Carr.
"It takes a lot of guts just to put the training and a lot of time and commitment," says firefighter Joey Baxa.
For the past four months, the five firefighters competing in the challenge have put in numerous hours of training for the big day.
"It really gets your heart rate up it shows the amount of exertion it takes to fight a fire just in a shorter time frame it uses the same skill sets," says Baxa.
What makes it even harder is that they have to compete in full turnout gear which adds an additional 50 pounds to their body weight.
"It's helping us individually for working out, I've actually lost weight myself," says firefighter Dion Wamsley, but at the end of the day they all agree that it's knowing they were able to do it that's the best part.
"This is the world series of the whole contest.," says Tacy.
Fellow teammate Baxa agrees saying "It's something every fire fighter should do they should at least try this, it's a task we perform in our job everyday and it's something every fire fighter should be prepared to do."
They'll head to Myrtle Beach in November.
