My department purchased Red Barn Innovation's forcible entry prop this year. We used it for our recruit training, rotated it through our eight firehouses and used it at the regional fire school. It is one of the best forcible entry props I've ever used. The ability to adjust the door's resistance has proven especially useful when developing forcible entry skills. I highly recommend that any department wanting to improve their forcible skills buy this prop.

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.
