Firefighter Forcible Entry Training with Mike Perrone

[@thyagoborges5504]

I am from Brazil, we have the halligan and we do not know how to use it, with these techniques, I intend to pass the knowledge on and use this great tool correctly. Thank you, good boss job ...

[@ironsurvival7011]

The Halligan and axe are the bread and butter hand tools for firefighters. So many ways to use them, not just forcing entry. Good training!

[@hokeypokeyalso1783]

I'll never forget a house fire we went on. I pulled a hose line to the front door where the BC was standing. He told me to go get an axe so we could gain access to the house. I reach over and turned the door knob and the door opened. I'll never forget the look on his face, Price Less!

[@3oranges4]

Try before u pry..😍😍😍

[@Skatetoday14]

Never thought of using the wedge that way! Awesome, another tool in my tool box

[@johnathanhatley4647]

I remember the first time I did a forcible entry on a training exercise when I was a volunteer. The most fun thing to do is forcible entry from outside of a lifted trailer home with no steps. We were taught to get a good pivoting swing and make contact somewhere close to the door handle and crawl in. I was the first one in and I broke part of the frame off from hitting it so hard. My excuse was "I didnt know if the door was blocked on the other side so I compensated for it!" 😂😂😂 good times

Thanks for the video! My Forcible Entry drill is tonight and this helped me out.

[@Duhastmage]

Sweet. Excellent technique. I'll definitely be practicing the single entry more often

[@patrickmccafferty7183]

Thanks for sharing this video, Dale. Mike Perrone has made an incredible door and he shares some of the absolute best tips and tricks of forcible entry. Train on and DO WORK!!

[@nadsy_tas7231]

Great training video

[@Matttchew5]

I've been on the other side of a forced entry. I was asleep. Entry was unexpected. The first bang was the frame breaking, the second was the door opening. The third was me hitting the floor. Hours later, the last of the 27 men wearing all black leaving apologized for the 3 hours of tearing apart an apartment. "Sorry about that, guys," as he walked out. It appears my roommate sold his car but the address on the registration was never changed. They were there looking for drugs. My attitude about forcible entry remains the same. If it is firefighters forcing entry to save lives, ok.

[@bengarcia9612]

The Niteshifter this is one of the better comments ive ever read

ben garcia true story

[@antdx316]

The worst thing to do is have a super high-level reinforced security door and bullet proof windows. If you have a fire or some sort of inability to unlock the doors from the inside, whoever inside is fucked unless they come in with breaching material but if someone say passed out or needed immediate medical attention right behind the door like getting into a heart attack making it to the door and falling. Say they breach the door the flying projectile door material will cause more injury such as a fatality. There is no need to go high-level reinforced security door I assume unless you some how teach people who are going to come in there is a secret quick low-level entry area weak point designed around the rooms/building. Like if you forget your password and you will get locked out and everything wiped but then there is another secret area you know about and it takes some quick secret sequencing to get to so it can unlock.

[@calebjohnson7592]

They were ready to do that to my mom's house when Obama signed the order to take vet's guns away. I'm glad I didn't have to experience that or my PTSD would be a thousand times worse than it already is.

[@UKMonkey]

Seems like the correct reaction. Reaching for a weapon would've got you killed probably... Just remember that most of the time they don't get the wrong address.

[@magellan333]

Brilliant !

[@SlowerFuse]

Fine training film.

[@tropicalsex69]

Nice work!

[@CRavesi]

When you're using the flathead to strike, good technique is to hold the axe in place and use your hips to swing the axe and give the force (if you can). Takes way less energy, will put a lot more force than your arms and a lot of the time will ensure you end up right back in the same spot when you're using the axe to hit, especially to drive.

[@W00FLES]

The prop shown in the demonstrations is called the "Multi-Force" and was designed and created by Mike Perrone. It's one of the most Versatile, Portable and Durable forcible entry props on the market - A great testament of this is the nearly 2000 props that Mike has sold to Fire Departments and Training Colleges across the United States and beyond!

[@MrGivmedew]

Anthony Abelardo it's all about comparing risks. Just like medicine... all medicine has a risk. You compare it's risk with its benefits. I lived somewhere where my chance of home intrusions in a 1 year period was 300% without visible deterrence. Even with video surveillance the day after I put a lock on my garage the door was kicked in. I had to excellently reinforce the door and frame and use eye bolts the door and extra wood then the frame and extra wood top and bottom with pad locks to make it safe for storage. All the entry point doors where reinforced with Steel L channel. The idea is to make it kick proof and bump key proof. The average thug doesn't have any high quality tools... they will try to kick your door down about 3 times and run. If you increase the entry time from 1 kick to 30-60 seconds you increase the likelihood they leave or you get your gun. These techniques would have defeated all my doors except the garage immediately. As for the windows we used the lower quality bolt in bars with extremely long torque bit screws. They all had a hinge and an emergency release. Again would take minutes for a typical intruder to gain entry and seconds for the fire fighters. You have to weigh the benefits and train for a fire. For a lot of these places that use these high security designs it is truly necessary. We really where at higher risk of home invasion than of fire. The home itself proved that. It had been broken into dozens of times before we lived there and the garage had been broken into the day after the broken lock and door jam were repaired. These places exist... now down the street where people had 6 ft brick fences, security, neighborhood watch and police patrol... well those people could probably go without iron window covers.

[@southernoregoncatmom6519]

Wow. Very interesting to watch. I now see why firefighters have to work out! They use lots of upper body strength.😁

[@randyway1267]

[@SundownTE]

[@ffbarnette]

A lot of awesome stuff here but I was wondering the prop that my Fire department uses has a metal bolt that you have to gap left and right not just the piece if wood. Does this prop not have the metal bolt? It seems more realistic to a every day residential door.

[@1964hooch]

I LOVE Danny's shirt.Mike, if you need one , I can hook you up !!!!!!!

[@remigirl996]

Why do you go opposite the point?

[@DALEGPEKEL]

It's not a requirement, but the point (hook, horn, pick, spike, pike - Whatever you choose to call it) can cause the tool (Adz end) to rock out of position - Due to the nature and curvature of the point itself. Leveraging in the opposite direction allows for an unobstructed gapping move.

[@calebjohnson7592]

All of this is fantastic, except the shackle simulation. Locks are made with hardened steel shackles and pins, though, I'm sure you guys know full well. In the locks I've had to bust, I normally smash the body until the pin shifts away from the shackle, which is noticeable when the shackle shifts in the body, and then pry it off.

[@timmythistle6615]

I'm dedicated to be a firefighter, but I can't seem to pass the written aptitude test. I'm not dumb or anything, I just get nervous when sitting written exams and the nerves stop me from thinking straight. I absolutely dominated the beep test and the physical agility test because i'm obsessed and passionate with my fitness. I'm going to apply again and i'll never give up. I've just got to practice more on my written exam. I believe the process in Australia which is where i'm from, is different to Americas process but still much the same. If anyone knows any good sites or anything to help me with my cognitive test, that would be highly appreciated. I'm extremely keen to improve my knowledge to help myself with becoming a firefighter.

[@DALEGPEKEL]

You're not alone with your anxiety taking the written exam - I've seen and heard of it many times - The more exams you take the better you'll get. In the USA you can find sample exams on /Internet and practice - You may also want to look into meditation to calm yourself - May sound corny, but this is something even professional athletes practice to help calm their nerves and get them out of slumps. Know that FF exams are not designed to select rocket scientists or brain surgeons - If you have average intelligence, common sense and no major psychiatric issues you have the ability to pass one - Don't give up and stay positive and you will succeed!

[@yawnwarrior]

How are firefighters not constantly smashing each other's arms & legs with the ax back accidentally when working a door as a team? I'm pretty accurate but would still bloody up the halligan bar guy's hands for sure. Much respect.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Here is what I didn't see. No eye or ear protection. No reason to ever be hurt or suffer injury during training. Great prop and practictioner.

Refreshing watching this instead of the 113 lb hick wannabe firefighters trying to do a 5 min forced entry in the KZbin shorts

[@mrbadger9920]

That tool and some of the methods used look pretty unsafe for the users. Straining yourself and pushing at full capacity towards that spike look like an accident waiting to happen when you slip or the door pops open unexpectedly. Likewise having someone swinging the back of an axe onto the end of the bar right next to your elbow

[@mrbadger9920]

Pouty MacPotatohead Not really, they are generally very safety conscious, at least they are here in the UK. Construction, tree surgery and many many others are far more hazardous

[@ffdtower1]

Are you serious Clark? Why don't you explain a safer version of forcible entry? Maybe you could use a pillow, or maybe even a leather purse? Good grief...
