Review of

Forcible
Entry/Exit
IRONS is the name given We currently do not
to a Flat-Head ax paired have a set of IRONS
with a Haligan tool but have tools with
similar characteristic
that can be used.

Although we are going to show the irons remember other tools that
we do have will perform the same functions. A little creativity..

Non-
Traditional
Doors
With sliding glass doors you
can remove the trim allowing
you to pull the door back and
remove it. You may still need
to pry the latch.

With roll up doors you can


insert the pike to break pad
locks or you can cut an upside
down v using an axe and
another tool to strike it.
Other Uses
A pike whether on the an axe
or on a halligan or other tool
can be used for several other
applications. Through the lock
type forcible entry uses the
pike to knock the locking
mechanism out allowing you to
manually operate the bolt.
This type of entry can also
work on the trunk area of a
car.

You can also drive the pike or


adz into the roof to give you a
footing point. This is also true
of a firemans axe.
Remember forcible entry and
exit is for all types of
emergencies. Not just fires.
