Always enjoy these training videos. Never know when I'll swing back to write another firefighter story, and these details keep it real.

You write stories about firefighting?!? Bro, that's awesome!! Is there anywhere I can take a quick gander at your work? I'm interested!

An excellent video! This is quickly becoming a skill that law enforcement needs to learn and master, as the demands of the job are quickly changing, especially in RTF work.

good presentation explaining fundamentals. As a first responder I have not received formal training on this tool but watching this ha s given me more knowledge and awareness of how to use it. i.e. I have greater confidence if I need to handle it

Depending on how quick you need to make entry, you can use a hydraulic ram and a manual pump to spread the door frame, giving you enough clearance from the door latch and catch plate to just swing the door in with little to no damage. We used that technique when we were making entry for suspected injuries or ambulance assists.

Superb demonstration, kudos! If only the cops in Uvalde watched this training video just one-time, they would've known how to use the bar they were handed.

@ArmyMP 10 ай бұрын

The only problem for cops is that you are standing directly in front of the door you are breaching with puts you at risk for getting shot thru the door. But still, this is an educational video all around.

Very nice video - have an interesting question, how is it with entrance doors or doors that are secured - because in the video you can see a door for the interior. Thanks for an answer.

What was he searching on the ground after opening? Victims or debris to close again with the tool? Yesterday I had to open a factory gate I couldn't... I had to use my ladder and jump in full gear since then I'm watching this videos like crazy, I'm a volunteer firefighter fighting for a job as a pro with no friends in high places...

As a career recruit myself it looked like he was doing an immediate search for a victim prior to controlling the flow path. Most victims we are told become incapacitated while searching for an egress and close to them. You would hate to force the door then wait a minute or so for your engine company, they enter then he or she has been laying right there the whole time.

Think about the money that is spent by a town fighting fires. The time it takes to get doors open to rescue victims and get interior fires extinguished. The increased costs to insurance companies for all the extra damage that wasted time can cause. The cost of fixing the front door when it is only needed for entry when the fire could be in the garage or other remote location. All commercial buildings have Knox Box by the entry doors. The fire department has a key to that box and the building entry key is inside it. Put a Knox Box at the front door of every residential structure. The town, the insurance companies and the homeowner could all chip in, and entry could take just seconds and with no damage.
