When crews are performing forcible entry, there are many safety related observations that you must take toensure a safe fireground operation. Company officers and firefighters alike must be aware of where forcible
entry takes place on the fireground, the tools used and the dangers of these tactics. Review your forcible entryassignments, tool care and use and discuss the possible dangers associated with this essential fireground
operation, Review your forcible entry tool inventory and SOG's with this session,

General Safety Points
• Positioned away from potential products of combustion• Appropriate personal protective equipment• Body mechanics for tool use• Observe conditions around forcible entry point at all times• Consider a "softer" entry point if having difficulty making entry• Wind is a factor in many forcible entry operations, make sure that it doesn't affect fire operations• Try before prying (Your cardinal rule of forcible entry operation)• Control the release of the material (door, Window) being forced• Make sure the area stays open once forced, this may be a retreat area. Use door chocks or clear it
out completely
