Fire Rescue Breaching Techniques

Fire rescue breaching techniques involve safely creating entry points in structures during emergencies. Firefighters may use tools like axes, Halligan bars, or saws to break windows, doors, or walls to access trapped individuals or to ventilate smoke. The goal is to breach quickly and carefully to preserve structural integrity while ensuring safety for both rescuers and victims. Proper assessment of the building’s construction and potential hazards guides the choice of technique, aiming for the most efficient route in a high-stakes situation.
