I love the support the New Haven guys have for their chief. I did a 3 man engine company training put on by one of the Battalion chiefs and it was a great day

My old friend, Mike Pope, was on NHFD. Great department!

Great explanation & video. I’m gonna use this for my company training.

Easy way to open up the shut lines is to crunch the front wing.

Thank you, Chief!

Never pop the top hinge first. Do the bottom one first then the door doesn't drop and make getting to the bottom hinge more difficult.
