The Punch Technique

[@Med1cintraining]

What an awesome technique to conserve time and energy. Definite thumbs up. Props to FDNY

[@muslimmedic]

I watched this video years ago and ever since then I’ve been using and teaching the punch technique. I prefer a roof hook and/or haligan but it also works with other tools as well. Thx Lt. Ciampo and I’ll be sure to take full credit for your ideas. Hahaha! Just kidding......maybe.

Mike you the man, keep making videos, if anyone gets the chance to catch one of his classes, it's worth every minute

[@bradsry8731]

[@extricate1800]

outstanding! this will be shown to my fire company

[@brycebaxter6130]

I'm am a probie volunteer in a small Northern California town and I've used this video as a trading idea and it made me look like I had some clue as to what I was doing.. thanks

[@MrWolfSnack]

That's what they are uploaded for. A lot of the videos on youtube you see are ancient VHS era films and videos but a lot of the methods are still the same today.

[@fike2skee]

Great techniques! Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@forestdenizen6497]

Is this a normal sort internal wall in the USA? In the UK most houses have plaster over wooden slats, much harder and more time consuming to penetrate.

[@FireengineeringMagazine]

In older homes in the U.S. you will find lathe and plaster, which is indeed more difficult to overcome, however in this video I believe it is drywall, which would likely be more common.

Work smart, not hard. Love it!

[@sgtrpalma]

Gentlemen I appreciate you for taking the time to pass on outstanding knowledge!!!

[@seelee9795]

Cops.

[@seelee9795]

That's not true. Pls don't start shit. The police force and us all collaborate to serve the public.

[@FireengineeringMagazine]

Overhaul

Gotta check inside the walls for more fire.

[@jakedee4117]

Nice technique, I saw the plaster and lathe wall opening and was wondering how they deal with sheet rock.
