With 24 years of service on both the fire ground and as an instructor in the fire academy, I have yet to see a forcible entry training tool as effective as "Friction Force." The door’s versatility allows simulation of the different situations a firefighter may encounter on the fire ground. The training prop’s durability allows repeated uses without any downtime. It’s an excellent training resource for the fire service.

Firefighter Safety. This was Friction Force's Inventor's ultimate goal. When firefighters have the knowledge and experience to gain entry into an unstable atmosphere quickly, the chances of completing their tasks effectively are greatly improved. Gaining entry to the fire building is one of the primary goals of every responding company in the fire service. The concern of a probationary firefighter knowing he might have to learn this crucial skill during his first structure fire was the motivation behind Friction Force being invented. Now, years later, the mission of the company is to let firefighters have the chance to master these skills in a controlled learning atmosphere, rather than the uncontrolled fire ground. Some things will never change. One ultimate goal: Firefighter Safety.
