Same as in the past years, even this time the contest will be attended by professional fire fighters from the entire Europe. The volunteer firemen will again check their strength against the professionals. Contestants will compete in the various disciplines, such as carrying the 80 kg dummy; jumping over 2 meters high barrier or carrying two 30 kg barrels. The competitors will have to undergo these tasks in a full outfit, as if they were going to intervene in the fire. The ascent to the 26th floor of the City Empiria will be featured as well. Even this year the competition will include a parallel race, which increases the attractiveness of the contest to the viewers. The winners will receive cash awards.

The event will be also featuring other interesting accompanying program. The spectators will have the opportunity to try some of the disciplines on their own; they will be able to see one of the fire rescue vehicles and emergency ambulance vehicles. The pleasant atmosphere of the event will be provided by the amplified music. This time the music will be mixed by the contestants themselves. Every contestant will start with his favorite song. Probably the most attractive spectacle for the viewers in the accompanying program will be an example of recovering the victims from a car crash or a demonstration of the bomb disposal work performed by the Czech Republic Police.
