The World Firefighter Games 2008 gets underway on Monday with a spectacular Olympic-style opening ceremony which is expected to be attended by thousands.
Coming on the back of the Olympics in which Team GB have been unbelievably successful, organisers are hoping to recreate a similar atmosphere on Merseyside. After all where else would you see paintballing, cooking and arm wrestling appear side by side as competitive sports alongside boxing, martial arts, badminton, rowing and track and field?
