Dräger South Africa Fire Combat and Rescue Challenge 2025
|
|
2025 marked the five-year anniversary edition of the Dräger Fire Combat and Rescue Challenge. Dräger’s Wimpie van Onselen, said, “What started as a small competition and the Dräger team not knowing if this will pick up, resulted in a well-attended fifth edition. With over 25 teams and 80 individuals competing this year, the Dräger Fire Combat and Rescue Challenge has grown to be a competition of note. Being the only competition in South Africa that challenges the competitors to do the workouts under air, it was a great challenge for those testing their fitness, strength and resilience.”
“This year the competition was presented over two days. Day one saw the launch of the Dräger Aqua Rescue Helmet and the FPS Com Voice and a word from our special guest, Martyn Lamb, from the EMEA Dräger team”, said Van Onselen.
“Over the two days the teams competed in three events that showed their skill, fitness and endurance to be crowned the best of the competition. At the end only a few teams could finish all three events. Below the overall winners of the day.”
