Nice!!!!! So many helpful tips! Thank you

[@DiggerNick100]

I appreciate what you're about! it would help to have an editor edit your voice in and stop to illustrate the importance of the gentleman illustrating the actions. It's hard to find real firefighting guidance on youtube and everyone needs it. Much love, V

Great video, I went to a class recently about search and this is the exact technique that was taught

So, he does a "Paddy Brown". Gets to the floor, scanning the room quickly, and then does his search.

Does keeping the halligan near door let you remember where the start point was?

[@macheldavis945]

i caught that as well.

[@Thesurvivalistt]

Yes

[@evanl.4556]

Yes, also if another firefighter comes to that door and feels the tool he knows somebody already is in that room.

Why would you send your partner the other way away from you?
