Welcome to the official website for the United Fire Brigades' Association 2022 Firefighter Combat Challenge.

Funding

This funding chart applies to both Island and National Challenges.

All UFBA Firefighter Combat Challenges will be funded for Individual Competitors and for ONE Tandem and ONE Relay team per UFBA Member Brigade. You are more than welcome to register additional Relay and Tandem teams but only one will be funded and you will be responsible for all costs for any additional team(s).

If your Tandem & / or Relay includes already funded Individuals and there are other Tandem or Relay teams in your Brigade, funding may be passed over to them with written approval from the UFBA Events Team.

The chart will assist you in clarifying how the funding is distributed.

Not qualified for any funding:

  • Composite teams - made up of members from different Brigades
  • Teams that have not competed in a North or South Island Challenge who wish to attend Nationals
  • Individuals competing in a Island event that is outside of their UFBA Island
  • Partners and Observers
It is at the discretion of the UFBA Events Team and Challenge Panel to restrict funding &/or numbers where necessary in order to fairly benefit all Member Brigades that wish to participate. Please remember, not only are we restricted by funding, we are also restricted by the number of runs we can have on the Challenge day(s).
