Cinderblock wall breach

Filed under: Truck ops

We at the FWBFD had some vacancies to do some training in recently. On the “A” the 1st question that was posed was: Can you breach a block wall faster with a K-12 than by hand tools?
Answer=No

It took significantly less time to breach (with a team of two dudes and a sledge) than to cut with the “K”.

The next discussion was on the the question of: Which two techniques, of getting through that same wall, (with the sledge) is better? This video was the result of that conversation. Reality being, that in our area having 3 FF to accomplish this task is a luxury…REMEMBER pace yourself & rotate manning often!
