Eligible participants

All fire department teams from volunteer fire departments, professional, company and factory fire brigades worldwide. For trans-regional operations, the number of participating fire brigades as part of a group submission is limited to four participants. National and international fire-fighting and fire-prevention organizations are excluded from participation. Magirus employees are not entitled to participate.

Registration / submission

Operations from the fields of firefighting, technical aid, people rescues, and social engagement can be submitted. Operations must have been carried out after October 10th 2016. Participation is free of charge. Operational reports with key detail information (procedures, tactics, success and photo / video footage) can be submitted either by email, mail or using the provided online registration form.

 

Operations assigned to the category of “social engagement” by the jury are eligible to win the special prize, but will not be included in the selection for National or International Firefighting Team of the Year.

 

Operations can be submitted only once. Operations already submitted for the Conrad Dietrich Magirus Award 2016 are excluded from participation. Incorrect or incomplete applications will be excluded from the competition. By submitting their registration, each participant confirms to have read and accepted the Conditions of Participation.

Determining the winners

Winners (“International and National Firefighting Team of the Year” and “Special Prize for Social Engagement”) will be determined through a two-stage selection process. A jury will assess submitted operations based on the associated documents provided and select the finalists. In the second step, these pre-selected finalists will be posted for online voting on the website www.magirusgroup.com . The winning team for the “International and National Firefighting Team of the Year” and the winner of the “Special Prize for Social Engagement” will be determined by adding the jury verdict (60%) and online voting (40%).

Prizes

The winning teams will each receive the Conrad Dietrich Magirus Award in the form of a prestigious, engraved trophy and certificates for the team members.

 

The top prize for the “International Firefighting Team of the Year” and “National Firefighting Team of the Year” is a multi-day trip for eight members of the winning team to the FDNY (Fire Department of New York), including flights and hotel accommodation.

 

The main prize for the “Special Prize for Social Engagement” is a firefighting training programme provided by the Magirus Fire Fighter Academy, which can be individually adapted to the requirements of the winning team.

 

The awarded prizes cannot be exchanged for cash.
