AN international call has gone out for firefighters to assemble in Sydney, Australia, next year for the 12th World Firefighter's Games.The 55-sport biennial event was spectacularly launched in the vibrant harbour city in July in the presence of some of the world's most eminent firefighting administrators from seven countries--the high-powered Board of Champions--government and sponsor representatives and a host of Australian elite sporting champions.
From 19th-29th October 2012 Sydney will be the place to be as an expected 10,000 full, part-time and volunteer firefighters compete in one of the world's largest participation sporting events.
Elite competitors will include the reigning world champions from Korea 2010, the winners of Europe's Toughest Firefighter Alive competition and the top performers from this year's New York Police and Fire Games.
Home to one of the world's most stunning harbours and blessed by a sunny, near-perfect climate Sydney's setting alone is perfect for the games.
The 2000 Olympics have left a legacy of world class sporting facilities, enabling participants access to Olympic-standard facilities for the very first time.
Events such athletics and swimming will be held at Olympic Park whilst beach volleyball, surf lifesaving and beach cricket will be held on iconic Coogee Beach.
Many other events such as tug of war, arm wrestling, body building, and the coveted Toughest Firefighter Alive will take place right in the centre of the city's entertainment and accommodation precinct at Darling Harbour.
And while the competition will be hot during the day, things will be just as hot when the sun goes down.
Nightly entertainment will feature some of Australia's and the world's biggest musical acts and spectacular opening and closing ceremonies are already in the advanced planning stages.
Accommodation is not a problem either with Sydney boasting some of the best accommodation in the world with over 18,000 rooms in 3, 4, and 5 star hotels, along with world-class hostels and low-budget accommodation.
Transport is a breeze and the food, shopping, watering holes, tourist attractions and natural environment are second-to-none.
Access to the rest of Australia is also easy for after-games holiday adventures.
