                                                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.
