Just recently added this Ratchet Scrench to the Saw tool bag.

Picked up the idea from an arborist. Great tool. It’s my go to for saw maintenance now.

If you need a link DM me and I’ll get it over to you. I’m not affiliated with them. Just a good tool that’s in my tool bag.

When the sun is facing your throw, use it to your advantage. A lot of times a shadow will appear giving you a good idea whether your aerial is over the roof yet or now.

Unlike ground ladders, we can go as many rungs over the roof as we want. Being more than three to four rungs over gives us more aerial that will be visible in smoke, more aerial to quickly grab onto and also allows the light on the tip to go higher and shine down.

When positioning at top floor fires, ensure you position between windows vs over windows in the event that conditions deteriorate in that area. The same goes for windows that may be horizontal as your climbing, always monitor conditions in the area of your exit.

FE Friday-9” nail puller.

🔹I’ve found carrying this in my pocket, for daily service calls or when we go to assist, has proven to be useful almost daily.

🔹On service calls this is a great tool for slipping gates, lobby and breeze way doors. Pair this with a wedge and you’d be surprised how effective and quick you can be slipping latches.

🔹When all else fails. Just grab a 30” Bar. 💥

**Capitol Quick-Tip**
“Simulated Fire”
:
Not all the time can we burn inside of a structure, but it’s still important to give the students a look of what it would be like with fire. Recreating elements sometimes is the best that we can do, and it’s still a “win” if we get to drive those points home to the students. There’s a few things that we like to teach when it comes to search and this type of element helps with that:

✔️- Door Control
✔️- Location Of Fire Relative to search
✔️- Knocking Back Fire (Can-Work)
✔️- Using Real Victims

These things are all important when searching for victims. One of the things that we do to recreate an element, is take a mini flood light and put it underneath a traffic cone. We also add fake smoke to give that blurriness and element inside. Having that orange glow inside the structure gives students that visual cue and allows them to apply these things noted above to their thought processes when searching and removing victims.

🎙️ NEW PODCAST FEATURE | SEAN DUFFY

Build Your Culture Co-Founder Sean Duffy recently joined Anthony Kastros and Brian Brush on Fire Engineering’s Command Show for an episode focused on Operational Readiness and Search-Focused Tactics.

The conversation digs into training, decision-making, SOPs, search operations, and the mindset behind being truly prepared when it matters most.

This is the kind of conversation we’re always proud to see our cadre be a part of—sharing experience, challenging the fire service to think, and continuing to push the craft forward.

🔥 Give it a listen and check out the full episode on FireEngineering.com⁠ or find Fire Engineering on their social channels.

PRO BAR VS TD30

Arguably two of the most recognizable and iconic tools in the trade when it comes to the Halligan.

🔹The Fire Hooks Unlimited Pro Bar

-Its the OG. The gold standard. Any good working company that has an understanding of tools, across the country, probably has one. Hell, I have two my self.
-Made and modeled after the original Halligan bar by the Halligan Don Hugh Halligan of the FDNY.

-Made from a single piece of 4140 high carbon steel. Single piece drop forged. I’ve had my original one for 15 years. It’s been through hell and still stands up to any task it’s put to.
-The only “con” is you have to tune it. If you call it a con? I actually don’t mind taking the shoulders down to make them square. Or cutting set marks into the fork and adz. It’s makes the tool yours. There’s some pride in that.

-Probably the most trusted tool in the fire service. Fire Hooks Unlimited cuts no corners and has been putting out some of the most quality and trusted tools in the fire service for decades. USA owned and made.

🔹Council Fire Tool TD 30

-One of the new comers on the market. But Council Tool is not new to the market by any means. They have been in business for over 100 years. Family owned and operated right here in the USA.

-The TD30 is made from the same 4140 high carbon steel single piece drop forged. Making this Halligan just as durable and reliable as the OG.

-TD stands for “Tuned and Dressed.” Meaning that your set marks are already cut into the bar. And the fork crotch is widened for pulling Adam’s locks and door handles. The shoulders are squared off for working in tight quarters. All right out of the box.

🔹Overview: If the Pro bar is the gold standard the TD30 is right next to it. We have used both of these bars. 1000’s of reps both in training and in real life. I can confidently say you can’t go wrong with either. Ultimately it comes down to preference.

👉TWTC Carries both. Want to get your self one or have questions send us a message www.theworkingtruckcompany.com or links in our bio.

This is a great video demonstrating how the gases released from lithium-ion batteries can behave very differently from what we typically encounter during a standard structure fire.
The flames themselves are obviously intense, producing significant heat and creating the potential for rapid ignition of nearby combustible materials. I want you to pay close attention to something else the gas movement and visibility conditions.

During lithium-ion battery failure and thermal runaway, multiple gases and vapors can be released. These products do not always behave like the smoke conditions firefighters are accustomed to seeing during a conventional structure fire. Instead of simply banking down from the ceiling as the smoke layer develops, these gases and vapors can rapidly spread and mix throughout the space.
Some components may be lighter than air, while others may be heavier, contributing to an extremely dynamic environment that can quickly involve the space from the ceiling all the way to the floor.
The result can be a rapid transition to near-zero visibility throughout the entire compartment sometimes within seconds.

This is why recognizing lithium-ion battery involvement early is so important. The fire behavior, gas production, visibility conditions, and speed at which the environment can change require us to understand that we may be dealing with something very different from a conventional structure fire.

Recognize the hazard. Understand the behavior. Adjust your tactics.#firefighter #firefightertraining #lithiumbatteryfire #scooterfire #nextleveltrainingnetwork
