East Coast Rescue Solutions believes that forcible entry is a lost art. With less opportunity for on the job training coupled with the lack of available props today, mastering the techniques of forcible entry is a challenge for firefighters. This is why at ECRS we have designed and built our own mobile forcible entry simulators. This simulator allows firefighters to practice multiple forces on inward and outward swinging doors, padlocks, hinges and heavily secured doors. Participants will learn from the guidance of our experienced instructors from the City of Atlanta Fire Rescue and the F.D.N.Y.
