Wall Breach Training
Email Print RSS Facebook Twitter RSS

By Firefighter Mike Harris
March 19, 2013

The members of the Department are always looking to further their education by learning new and different techniques. This was seen at the most recent weekly Monday night drill where members practiced a very important method of escape called wall breaching. Wall breaching is a technique used when the way you entered a space is no longer accessible and there is no other way out. By breaking through the wall and maneuvering yourself through wall studs you can make another way out. Even though there may be narrow spaces in the wall, knowing proper techniques can allow any size person, including gear, to fit through. Thanks to Lieutenants Nick DeLaurentis and Mike Davison for converting an old work bench into a safe and practical wall breach simulator that was well used by members.
