BERNALILLO COUNTY, N.M. (KRQE) – Firefighters with the Bernalillo County Fire Department (BCFD) went head to head this weekend in the 2nd Annual Urbany Cup Firefighter Combat Challenge. The competition was held Saturday at the training academy.
Firefighters competed in a three-on-three competition to see who can complete the challenge the fastest.
Tasks included things like the charged-line hose drag, carrying a weighted pack up five stories, and a 200-pound dummy drag.
