THE HISTORY

The Firefighter Combat Challenge (FCC) is the Olympics of firefighting. Highly athletic firefighters simulate events they do in their profession, but as fast as they can.

Firejock.com began as a means to document and share Combat Challenge training info with non-competing members of the Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD). Draper trained to become a world champion record breaker @ World Challenge XII in Ottawa ON, in 2003.

As the first woman to complete the FCC in 2:03, Draper’s reputation and that of the CSFD reached international status. As a result Firejock.com reaches 10,000 visitors per month and Draper has become an international spokesperson for firefighter fitness.
