Background on the new commission: 

In 2023, a new Fire Sports Commission was created in CTIF, which will host international Fire Competitions with a wider definition than the traditional CTIF Fire Olympics. The first meeting of the new commission was held in Prague on February 19.

 It was proposed that for the further development of the firefighting sport, to separate this area of CTIF activity from the Competitions Commission and establish a new CTIF Commission.

The activities of the Competitions Commission would remain the traditional disciplines of the
CTIF.

The activities of the new commission would mainly be:
- organization of competitions in firefighting sports (prerequisite once every two years), in the categories of men’s, women’s and juniors.
- preparation and issuance of competition rules;
-  professional training of referees and coaches;
-  training camps for adults and juniors in the period between competitions;
- gradual promotion and organization of competitions in other types of firefighter sports 
- TFA, Combat Challenge etc.;

 

Funding of the commission's activities is assumed to be the same as before, i.e. participation fees, sponsors and advertising.

The creation of a new commission and the organization of competitions in fire sports can bring new members to the ranks of CTIF.
 

The separation of the firefighting sport and the creation of a new CTIF commission was discussed and agreed at the meeting of the Competitions Commission on November 14, 2022.
 

According to the CTIF Statutes, the creation of the CTIF commission must be agreed to by the EC, and then approved by the Delegate Assembly in Vienna, June 2023.
