Each team will be faced with a live fire situation in one of three buildings designed to be as realistic as possible inside, for example, one building replicates a shopping centre complete with internal units. The teams all face fires with the same properties and environment with the help of a condition setter. Each team of five members is faced with a scenario of a property fire with persons reported inside. The team has five members who have 30 minutes to extinguish the fire and rescue any casualties. How they handle information gathering and dealing with 'witnesses' and 'paramedics' is also evaluated. The winners of the competition will have shown their technical and practical skills and dexterity, as well as knowledge and experience and are crowned champions at the evening award ceremony by incoming President of the Chief Fire Officers Association, Paul Hancock, who will be speaking the previous day at the FIRE Congress.
