Rescue Challenge is a scenario-based event, focused on confined space and high angle rope rescue in industrial settings. A strong emphasis is placed on positive outcomes for the victim(s) through heavy weighting of medical scoring in the evaluation rubric. Scores are given and trophies awarded, but Rescue Challenge is really a learning competition, with skill-building and improving being the ultimate objectives.

“You’ll work your butt off at Rescue Challenge, but you’ll love every minute it.’” – Randy Pickering, Assistant Fire Chief, Valero Wilmington Refinery Rescue Team
