A Russian firefighter's TikTok has gone viral after he exhibited a show of strength and agility to rival any professional fighter in a training exercise captured on video for the platform.
Fireman Artur, who uses TikTok account @artur.prosport, posted a video of himself easily scaling three stories of a wall with a single ladder in under 12 seconds.
He has a few videos of himself throughout the account accomplishing the feat, which he is apparently proficient at even in contrast to his fellow firefighters.
TikTokers were absolutely stunned.

Fire sport is a distinctly eastern European type of competitive sport that developed in the mid-late 20th century after groups of volunteer firepeople began developing their own subculture in a post-WWII environment.
The sport includes tower climbing—what our original poster has mostly posted himself doing, a 100 m obstacle course, a 400 m relay race, and then a shoot-the-hose-at-the-target game called "Fire Attack."

A different video on the account sees our original poster running the length of a balance beam with two coiled up fire hoses in an unknown event.
