Procedure: 
1. Five (5) firefighters start at designated positions.  Firefighter 1 has the baton and  
    is positioned at the base of the ladder, which is secured against the platform with  
    the base 6 ft. from the plumb line. 
2. At signal, Firefighter 1 climbs the ladder and hands the baton to firefighter 2,    
    who is positioned on the mark at the top of the platform.  Firefighter 1 passes the
    baton to firefighter 2 after he has touched the top rung.

3. Firefighter 2 proceeds to the rope pull.  The rope is looped over the back rail with

    the hose tied to the end on the ground below.  Firefighter 2 pulls the hose to the

    platform using the rope and places it safely on the platform.  After the hose is on the
    platform he hands the baton back to firefighter 1 who must have one hand on
    the top rung while receiving the baton.

 4. Firefighter 1 descends the ladder with the baton and carries the baton to

    firefighter 3 who will be waiting at a point 25 ft. from the base of the ladder.

 5. Firefighter 1 passes the baton to firefighter 3.  After receiving the baton

    firefighter 3 will pick up the fan and carry it through a series of 6 cones placed

    over a 50 ft. area, alternating the cones to his right and left (zig zag pattern),    
    firefighter 3 then places the fan in the marked area and carries the baton to  
    firefighter 4.

 6. Firefighter 4 will be at a point 25 ft. from the completion of the fan carry.  Upon

    receiving the baton, firefighter 4 will pick up a section of charged 1-½ inch hose

    and advance it 50 ft.  Once he crosses the 50 ft. line he will open the nozzle and

    knock over the target.  The target (softball on secured cone) will be 25 ft. from

    the line.  Once the target has been knocked down firefighter 4 will carry the baton

    to firefighter 5.

 7. Firefighter 5 will be at a point 25 ft. from the 1-½ inch line.  Upon receiving the

    baton, firefighter 5 will receive the baton and lift and drag the dummy 50 ft.

    across the finish line.  The dummy must be dragged.  His head must remain off

    the ground during the drag and his feet must remain on the ground during the

    drag.  When firefighter 5 crosses the 50 ft. line the time stops and the event is

    over.
