Look for the easiest way in If possible, use the door the occupants normally use Maintain the integrity/control of the door Can change fire behavior Make sure hose and vent team are ready before opening the door completely domer Forcible Entry Knox Box System (Rapid Key Entry System) Only good if the owner or new owner maintains the correct keys inside the box FD has the only keys to open the box domer Forcible Entry Reason For Using Doors as Entrances Largest opening Easier, safer entry and exit Clearest path Most likely place to find victims Victims more easily controlled during evacuation On main wall, best place for orderly search Heat and toxic by-products are less because the entrance is at a lower level domer Forcible Entry Door Size-Up The primary obstacle FF’s face in gaining access into a building is a locked or blocked door Size-up of the door is an essential part of the forcible entry task Recognizing how the door functions, how it is constructed, and how it is locked are critical issues to successful forcible entry domer Forcible Entry Door Size-Up Which way does the door swing? Does it swing out (towards you), or in (away from) you? How do you know? There are two ways: Hinge position and how the doorframe is set in the wall. Look or feel for the hinges. If you can see them or feel them on your side of the door, then the door opens towards you. If you can’t see or feel the hinges the door will open away from you. Door Size-up Check how the door frame is set in relation to the wall. If it is flush with the wall, that is even with the plane of the wall, the door swings outward. If the door is recessed into the wall, usually by the depth of the doorframe, it will swing inward and away from you. domer Forcible Entry Identification of a Swinging Door domer Forcible Entry domer Forcible Entry Door Size-Up Once you have determined which way the door swings, you need to judge how difficult the door will be to force. Look at three things: • The strength of the door and its assembly • The lock mechanism • The doorframe and the wall that holds it.

Inward If you see hinges, the door opens toward you Exterior doors and interior exit doors in large commercial, public assembly, industrial, and other high-occupancy buildings usually open which way? Outward domer Forcible Entry Double Swinging Doors Same principles as single swinging doors Look for the hinges Locking mechanism can be located in different locations domer Forcible Entry Double Swinging Doors Multiple Locks domer Forcible Entry Aluminum Glass Doors – Tempered Glass (Usually) Through the lock technique Use K-Tool to remove the mortise lock PANIC HARDWARE Use J-Tool to manipulate the panic hardware Spread doors apart to gain access to the lock Set of Irons Cut lock with K-12 Break glass Strike at the bottom corner Clean out frame Remove push bar domer Forcible Entry Tempered Glass Doors Lack of a full frame Handle mounted through the glass Lock is mounted in either the top or bottom stile domer Forcible Entry Sliding Doors – Patio Slide left or right of a stationary glass panel in a metal track Made with one locking mechanism Force entry: Pry the lock Lift the sliding panel out of its track Pull the lock cylinder domer Forcible Entry Sliding Doors Usually secured with a secondary locking mechanism Burglar Blocks Locking devices at the top and/or bottom of the doors Pins or broom handle Almost impossible to force without causing excessive damage Will have to break the glass to enter Last resort domer Forcible Entry Sliding Doors – Pocket Slides into a partition or wall when pushed open Usually suspended from an overhead track Must pry straight back from the lock domer Forcible Entry Security Doors Construction Outside frame Door (metal with mesh so people can’t reach in) Heavy metal locking area Considerations Usually opens out Usually another type of door behind it Locks can be single or double keyed domer Forcible Entry Security Doors DOOR FRAME DEAD BOLT HINGES SECURITY PLATE / LATCH PROTECTOR MESH domer Forcible Entry Gaining entry with minimal damage to the door Use the butt end of a tool to strike the Strike door with an axe screen and dislodge breaking the tubular the tack weld.

    MILWAUKEE FIRE DEPARTMENT Operational Guidelines Approved by: Chief Mark Rohlfing 2012 FORWARD The purpose of these operational guidelines is to make clear expectations for company performance, safety, and efficiency, eliminating the potential for confusion and duplication of effort at the emergency scene. It is understood that extraordinary situations may dictate a deviation from these guidelines. Deviation can only be authorized by the officer/acting officer of an apparatus or the incident commander. Any deviation must be communicated over the incident talk group. The following guidelines are meant to clarify best operational practices for the MFD. They are not intended to be all-inclusive and are designed to be updated as necessary. They are guidelines for you to use. However, there will be no compromise on issues of safety, chain of command, correct gear usage, or turnout times (per NFPA 1710). These operating guidelines will outline tool and task responsibilities for the specific riding positions on responding units. While the title of each riding position and the assignments that follow may not always seem to be a perfect pairing, the tactical advantage of knowing where each member is supposed to be operating at a given assignment will provide for increased accountability and increased effectiveness while performing our response duties. Within the guidelines, you will see run-type specific (and in some cases, arrival order specific) tool and task assignments. On those responses listing a ‘T (or R)’ as the response unit, the Company will be uniformly listed as ‘Truck’ for continuity. The riding positions are as follows: ENGINE RIDING POSITIONS OFFICER HEO NOZZLE FF BACKUP FF TRUCK RIDING POSITIONS OFFICER HEO VENT FF FORCE FF SAFETY If you see something that you believe impacts our safety, it is your duty to report it to your superior Officer immediately.

Ergonomic handles with hole for tethering. Built-in wire stripper can strip and crimp for AWG 12, 14 and 16 cables. Stainless steel construction. Includes a holder with a quick release button and a belt clip. Cuts multi- wire cables and snips tiny wires. Micro anti-slip teeth on blades for better cutting grip. SAFETY WIRE PLIERS Safety wire is a type of positive locking device that prevents fasteners from loosening due to vibration and other forces. The presence of safety wiring also serves to indicate that the fasteners have been properly tightened. Safety wire is available in a variety of gauges and materials, depending on the application. In aircraft and racing applications, stainless steel wire is used, most commonly in .032" diameter. Typically, the wire is threaded through a hole drilled into a fastener or part, then twisted and anchored to a second fastener or part, then twisted again.
