The Rahway Fire Department has purchased a unique training tool. “The Challenger”, which is a forcible entry training door. This training door provides the “ten” most common techniques in forcible entry. Some of the techniques it provides are K-12 saw rebar cutting, K-12 saw plunge cut to activate (real panic bar locks), K-12 saw on hinges , Spring loaded latch bolt assembly for realistically forcing inward, outward doors, padlock cutting and the use of Hydraulic rabbit tools to realistically force doors.
This unique training door will be advantageous in not only expediting the Fire Departments entry into a hostile situation, but hopefully enter any structure with the least amount of damage to property as possible.
(above, l-r) Training are Captain Brian Thornton and Firefighter Rahaman Thorpe.
