Cambridge woman celebrates world record time in firefighter challenge [Video]

A Cambridge firefighter is celebrating her world record time at the American Firefighter Challenge League’s season opener in Indiana.

The competition is known by some as the toughest two minutes in sports and includes a series of physical challenges.

Kelly Campbell took home gold in fiery fashion by setting a world record time of two minutes and 46 seconds to secure the win in the under age 40 female division.

“It was an all Canadian team. So for us to go down there and beat all the Americans on their course was pretty special,” said Campbell.

The race consists of running up six flights of stairs, carrying weights, hitting a target with a fully charged hose and caring a 175 lbs dummy, 106 feet to finish the race.

“It’s incredibly hard. “It’s incredibly humbling but once you do it, you get addicted to it. You just want to keep bettering your times,” she said.
