4 × 100 meter fire brigade relay
The 4 × 100-meter fire brigade relay describes a discipline of fire brigade sports . A 4 × 100 meter relay with fire-fighting obstacles is overcome for a time. This discipline is completed by women and men.
history
In parallel with the history of the 100-meter obstacle course , the Soviet Union introduced a 5 × 100-meter fire brigade relay. This ran on a 400 m stadium track and the 1st and 5th sections ran side by side. The first times were over 2 minutes. In 1959 the competition regulations were changed and the 5th section with the 3.5 m high wall was dropped. The rest of the structure of the railway was similar to today's structure. The times improved to about 90 seconds.
The current world record was set by Belarus with 53.52 seconds at the 2008 World Cup in Sofia .
Structure of the career path and process
You start from starting blocks using a low start. For men, the first runner takes a ladder to the start. With this he has to climb and overcome a 2.5 m high house. The women have a 2 m high wall bars at this point. The second runner overcomes an escalating wall , with the women there is a hurdle at this point. The third runner picks up two C-hoses and crosses the 120 cm high and 8 meter long walk beam. Then he couples the hoses together and connects them to a distributor on the track. Then he has to couple the jet pipe he carries with him, which acts as a baton, to the hose. After the boundary line 2 he may uncouple it again and hand it over to the 4th runner. He picks up a fire extinguisher and uses it to put out a fire that is burning in a fire pan on the railway. When crossing the finish line, the time is stopped if all obstacles have been correctly overcome and all changes have been carried out correctly. In addition, the fire must not re-ignite until the finish line.
