I love what you guys are doing. I work on a private ambo, some of our calls we end up waiting on volunteer FD to gain access for us. Some of our trucks carry irons. Your videos have helped me think outside (actually inside) the box. Thanks
Another option for situations without a gate (large 6' industrial fences for example) is to use the axe and cut the bailing wire that holds the chain on the fence frame. (its usually pretty malleable stuff and can be twisted with one hand) an axe will cut right through it with one swing.
My dad told me that sometimes it’s quicker to hook a chain to it and the engine and pull it out. But that’s because the station me and him run with is an engine company and the ladder is usually 4th due. 1st due does entry and locates a water source while going up the driveway if none found they will radio to the tanker to drop a bathtub and to locate a dry hydrant or a pond to draft from. Then the 3rd due would be another engine to pump water from the bathtub to the engine that’s at the house or the fire due to the driveways are usually 300yd and go uphill to the house.
Most locks I see in situations like this are master m5 or something very similar. I’m curious if any fire departments attack the lock directly with picks or bypass tools. That can be very fast, too. Certainly faster than the twisting attack, although a little slower than the hinge bypass.
I really hate how ignorant my brigade are to tactical ventilation. They even rolled out smoke curtains for entry points and when they rolled them out it was a big deal of always using them on domestic dwelling fires. Which in a lot of cases meant conditions stated bad as even if you've got an exhaust vent, it has to be the inlet too as we cover up the door which would be an ideal inlet, if there's a vent
i could practically slip my fat ass over the chain and through the gap left between the fence and the gate. why even cut it when you cqan slip through?
Great channel. I'm a firefighter still in probation from England. Learning lots of tips, tricks and methods I've never seen before. Love it.

This is good stuff. Not covered in FF1 Parts A,B, or C. Minimizing secondary damage is good for the community.

Why did you stop posting videos there's been five years and I've been waiting
Holy shit! It's that easy? Defeats the entire purpose of locks on those gates

My pal Hal ( and yours ).
I’d rather go hinge side. I mean 9/10 there will be chain gates that look like that.
This fence is so f**** cheap he dont need any tools to get in
