The situation quickly escalated as live power lines fell to the ground making the scene challenging to combat. SMUD was called for assistance to cut the power so crews could knockdown the fire. No injuries were reported and the cause of the fire is unknown. RP:@sacramentofire www.BANGforcible.com | Train Your Probie | Facebook

This clip is from a recent emergency with Engine 10 arriving on scene to a fire behind a locked door. Firefighters carry forcible entry tools and are ready to gain access under any means. The firefighting "baseball swing" is a forcible entry technique using a halligan bar, where a firefighter swings the tool like a baseball bat to drive the pike end into a door frame. This allows the firefighter to then use the leverage of the bar to pry the door open, making it an effective one-person technique

For our brothers and sister in law enforcement these are not bad tools to have on your person as well. Check out Motis Fire Rescue and see what they have to offer! | National Fire Radio | Facebook
