Our fireys will run out as part of this year's Anzac Day Challenge football match and you can watch it live on Youtube.
The Anzac Day Challenge game is a fiercely-contested annual Australian Rules football match, pitting the best Police, Ambulance and Firefighter footballers in Australia against the best Army, Navy and Airforce players.
Nine CFA firefighters from eight brigades are part of this year’s Australian Combined Emergency Services (ACES) football team.
They take on the Australian Defence Force All Stars as the curtain-raiser to the Port Adelaide V North Melbourne AFL match at Adelaide Oval on Friday 26 April starting at 4.15pm.

This is the sixteenth year the Challenge has been held, with the ADF All Stars leading 9-6.
Nine CFA firefighters made it into this year's team, with Senior Station Officer Travis Smith from Caroline Springs selected as the team's assistant coach.
Smith said this year marked a significant achievement for CFA.
“With nine players we have the most number of representatives from any one organisation in the history of the game; this is something we should be very proud of,” Travis said.
“While the competition will be fierce, the respect for challenge and what it represents far outweighs winning or losing.
“We are proud to fly the flag for CFA as we share this special day with our defence force colleagues.”
