Forcible Entry Class
Tonight, a couple of the guys from C shift got a chance to take a Traditions Training Class in Rocky Mount on Forcible Entry. If you haven't heard of Traditions, you need too. Check out their website www.traditionstraining.com. I had an opportunity a couple of months ago to take a RIT class they hosted in Bedford and they are truly top notch instructors bringing with them a wealth of practical fireground knowledge. Anyway, the class tonight was great, we worked on outward and inward swinging doors using a great prop that Franklin County Public Safety provided. In addition, we did one person and two person technqiues, again very practical fireground knowledge for our "tool box."
