This tool deserves a look.

Bob Farrell’s Firehooks Unlimited 24” Halligan Pro-Bar — and it comes with a metal chock right out of the box. We put it to work in this video and it performs.

No sponsorship here. Just a solid product from someone in the fire service community that we believe in and wanted to put on your radar —
Especially if you’re a newly promoted officer and need a good tool to carry.

Spiking isn’t working. Here’s your next move.

The spike is your first instinct on a wooden jamb — but what happens when it’s not giving? You don’t have time to stand there and wonder.

This one runs through an alternative technique for when the spiking method stalls out on a wooden jamb door. Know your options before the door tests you

Have you ever had to abandon your first method and switch it up on a job? Drop it below 👇

Now it’s a right-hand swing. Inward opening wooden jamb situation.

Last video was the left-hand swing. Now we flip it — because at 4am you don’t get to pick which way the door opens.

Inward opening, wooden jamb, right-hand swing. Watch how the technique adjusts and why knowing both matters.

Have you trained both sides?

Left-hand swinging, inward opening door with a wooden jamb.

The door tells you how to work it. As you practice these techniques they become muscle memory when the situation calls for it.

Run this on the prop before you see it on a job.

Have you practiced your left-handed halligan swings?

Stuck door? Your axe head is leverage you may not be using. Here’s a two-person force using the axe head to multiply your leverage when the door isn’t giving. Watch how it’s positioned and where the force transfers, small details, big results. Ever used your axe head like this?

We made the mistake on purpose so you don’t have to make it on the job.

“Learn from your mistakes” great advice. But not every mistake can wait until you’re standing in front of a door on the fireground.

Watch what happens when this common forcible entry error gets made, why it slows everything down, and exactly how to avoid it.

Train the right way before the alarm comes in 🚨

Why I’ve never sounded a door.
It’s taught everywhere — but I’ve never done it and there’s a reason. In this one, I break down why sounding the door isn’t part of my size-up, and what I rely on instead.

Bevel to jamb vs. bevel to door — know the trade-off.
Both work. But they don’t do the same thing.
✅ Bevel to jamb: easier to drive, smoother access behind the door, less leverage
✅ Bevel to door: more leverage once you’re set, harder push

Which way do you set your Halligan when the forks go in — and why? Drop it in the comments 👇

Tight quarters. Two firefighters. One door that needs to come.

Working in a confined space with a partner changes everything — angles, communication, who drives and who steers. There’s no room for guesswork when you’re that close to the door.

This one breaks down how to stay effective and out of each other’s way when the space is working against you.

Ever forced a door in a spot that had no business fitting two people? Tell us about it 👇
