Love this forcible entry video. Great use of the tool and letting it do the work. Do any officers carry this? Look at the back side of the lock mechanisms. It shows you how you are gonna manipulate the lock. Thx Search and Destroy
You will never get bored in this job as there are various areas of advancements that you can venture into. For example, you can train to work as a smoke jumper or become a member of an elite Hot Shot Crew. http://techniciansalary.net/firefighter-salary/. Click here
When I was officer on an engine company, I carried an Officers Tool. It's easy to carry while pulling hose and it's a great egress tool. What it was mostly used for window vent for PPV and that initial ceiling pull, just after door entry, on 8' ceilings.
Every Engine officer should carry this, at a minimum (the Pig is better for truck officers).
