Forcible Entry Course
DESCRIPTION:
How does a firefighter gain entry into a secured building? Getting inside to stop a potential fire or to rescue a potential victim can be time consuming, hazardous, and difficult. The instructor conducting forcible entry training must teach the various methods employed to gain entry into a building through doors, windows, walls, and by forcing locks. This training must emphasize safety, speed, and the need to minimize property damage. The difference between success or failure during a fire suppression operation or rescue may depend on the ability of the firefighter to breach a barrier quickly, efficiently, and safely. This course will provide the students the opportunity to practice with realistic props for hands-on practice.
