That big brain was definitely sitting on a RED NECK( He had some wild stories, I would be sent for sensitivity training if I even mentioned them here), he showed us the shotgun he had hidden in his Airstream. He was also a contortionist, he would put a car up on its side and then curl up under the dash, made for very realistic training.

Yup! As all the others have said...We have them on all our trucks as well.

Probably the best tool I have used for forcible entry.....You would probably be hard-pressed to find a F.F. that didn't like it!

Capt. Halligan of FDNY invented this bar in the 1940s. It has had a few modifications and is a standard tool in North America. You can get them through www.morrisonfire.com
