The competition against other teams is both a reward for hard work in training and a means of judging your own abilities against those of other Brigades.

Traditionally they were not paid for the time spent at the competition or training, quite often they put in extra drills to hone their skills. Of course it has to be balanced against the need to keep enough staff at home to calls and respond as needed and that counts as their contribution. But one slip on wet ground can mean loosing times.

The names of the teams and the times archived illustrate how hard the competition is.
