Forcible Entry/Survival

This class will offer an in depth, hands on approach to the Art of Forcible Entry. It will cover the basics of the “Gap, set, force” technique, as well as expand on it with real world scenarios. Attendees will practice skills on forcible entry simulators, including confined space forcible entry, low/zero visibility techniques, as well as “through the lock” methods. On scenes where seconds count, don’t be delayed by poor forcible entry skills.

This course will also give you a greater understanding of firefighter survival terminology, developing a survival attitude, increasing situational awareness, and being trained in problem-solving techniques so you can become more self-reliant in an emergency.
