The programme's front cover features an intricately designed banner, emblazoned with the event's name and the crests of participating countries. The firemen, proudly wearing their uniforms and bearing their national flags, are depicted in a dynamic pose, symbolizing their readiness to face any challenge in the name of firefighting excellence. The tournament was organized by the London Fire Brigade, and the exhibition aimed to promote the exchange of knowledge and expertise among firefighting professionals from around the world.
