From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fire-fighting sport (Russian : пожарно-прикладной спорт) is a sport discipline developed in the Soviet Union in 1937. It includes a competition between various fire fighting teams in fire fighting-related exercises, such as climbing special stairs in a high floor of a mock-up house, unfolding a water hose, and extinguishing a fire using hoses or extinguishers.

International competitions have taken place since 1968.
