BUCKET BRIGADE

Known as the oldest form of firefighting. This is an event that takes skill and team work. The object of the event is to have a team of five men or women, each with a bucket. Working as a team, they have to move fifty gallons of water twenty feet, hand over hand, from a trough, known as a dip tank, to a smaller tank, known as a dump tank. The team that does this in the shortest amount of time is declared the winner.
