FireFighters frequently encounter situations where entry to a room or building requires force.  We must be proficient in forcible entry techniques and the tools used.  We carry a variety of special tools that are designed to make the job quick and reduce property damage.  The pictures on this page are from a Tuesday night drill.  POP members also trained during the day with members of the Wauconda Fire Department.
