At the state competition, the fire brigades were tested in five disciplines. They had to build a suction line, then complete a driving exercise with the fire engine, extinguish a fire and prepare teams with breathing apparatus for action. They were also tested on radio communication. This was not just about speed, but also about technical know-how, physical fitness, safety, teamwork and good organisation.
