The Firematic Racing competition is divided into three sub-competitions; hose competitions, ladder competitions, and bucket brigade competitions

In the ‘Hose Competition”, contestants need to work as a team to attach a hose to the hydrant and aim the water at the flip-up target positioned at the end of the track.

Contestants use the same hose cart to carry a special ladder down the track. The ladder is placed against the top of an arch and the contestants have to climb up the ladder to reach the top of the ladder as quickly as possible.

Lastly, the bucket brigade competitions make the contestants carry a five-gallon canvas bucket and running down the track at top speed with the heavy bucket filled with water. Contestants also need to climb up a stationary ladder that is fixed against a top of an arch and fill the drum placed atop of the arch with the water from the bucket.
