Irons Ready!

Hosted by Mid-Columbia Fire & Rescue

Many say they are the keys to the city, but this is only if you understand how to maximize the designed mechanical advantage, leverage and force of these tools.

Once you do, you can problem solve and work through many common fireground forcible entry challenges and know when and how to change things up and think or work outside the box to get the job done.

This class is all about the Irons & Door work.

Upon completion of this course Firefighters will be able to dress and set up their tools for success, perform a rapid size up to identify and defeat multiple forcible entry challenges, account for door control, effectively use commands to enhance communication, develop good striking techniques, and perform the appropriate standardized techniques while working alone or as part of a team.

Hands-on-training. Full Turnouts and SCBA (Mask and Extra Cylinder) Required. Ear and Eye Protection Required.
