#3 - Forcing Inward Opening Doors: Mike Perrone Forcible Entry Training

This video is from a series of Forcible Entry training tips in which Mike Perrone of the FDNY teaches techniques for using the "IRONS" (Flat head axe and Halligan bar). I edited the series down into 9 separate videos for easier viewing.
The training is conducted using a prop Mike designed and built called the Multi-Force Forcible Entry Door System. I've used many "home made" as well as "commercially made" props and I can tell you first hand this is the best one on the market for practicing with the Irons. We purchased this prop for the College I teach for and none of our other props can take the repetitive use and abuse that can be given to Mike's - It's simply the best Forcible Entry Prop around, bar none!!
The Multi-Force is completely portable and can be broken down and setup in minutes at any location. An added benefit of Mike's prop is the ability to use it in "Scenario Based" training - The doors on the prop are large enough to advance personnel and hose lines through allowing the Multi-Force to be used in large scale evolutions - Not just for forcible entry training.
This is one prop every Department should have!! - Check out Mike's web site for more information at: www.FirehouseInnovations.com

This guy is great! Can tell hes learned a lot from experience and willing to make young firefighters into old firefighter

[@RedReaper303]

This video alone has helped me out. Even training outside of your fire department watching videos like this can make a huge impact. Very good video for fire department training.

I'm a junior Firefighter an my Dad is a professional Firefighter and i find all your videos vary useful. Keep up the good work!

We got this door a while ago. I love training on it. Always brush up on your videos before I do training for other guys.

Cool ... We have only 1 such tool in the fire department. Unfortunately, we rarely use it, mainly the gasoline bulgarian Shtil

This is great training material. My department is on a budget, and I'm looking to build a forcible entry prop. Would it be worth the cost savings to use wood, or should I just bite the bullet and go metal? Any layouts, plans or ideas?

[@DALEGPEKEL]

I'd recommend going with metal as your main frame - Sorry Sam I don't have any plans for F/E props, but I have seen many on the Internet - Try a google search for "home made firefighter forcible entry props" and you should get some hits to point you in the right direction.

Next time you have a fire at an abandon structure ask chief if you can remove the front door metal guard railing/door. Most old homes in certain areas have these on the front doors. Use that and use plywood to sandwich around it and you have a door that can take a beating for training purposes.

Ummm yeah, I need some help building walls so that someone isn't able to get out of them, you know like my wife or my co-worker that likes to hit on her. Any help would be appreciated.
