Gabriel Angemi from Camden (NJ) Rescue 1 sent in these photos of something he and the brothers of Rescue 1 came across on a fire run. This door was fortified for something we don’t normally encounter… This door was hardened to keep people in! Click here to see the full write-up on the door and how Rescue 1 attacked it.
That is one mean door.
If I may borrow Saturday Night Live’s version of Senator David Paterson for a minute;
“Doors like this are used to keep people in…….
..New Jersey!”
OK, Im confused. Do they want or not want people to get in?
WOW I’m speachless.
What’s even more “bad-ass” than that door? Rescue 1- they know their doors and know their tools. PRIDE.
Finding a door such as this when trying to gain acess is bad, because it slows our attack on the fire… But if we enter through another point and try to exit through a door like this then we will be slowed down considerably and in serious danger.
This door is the perfect job for the rookie…
Man not one donkey kick comment yet ???? JEZZZZZZ you guys are slipping 😉
A door from hell!
To quote Sean:
“A door from hell!”
This is not to be confused with the door to Hell.
It’s my understanding that particualr door is easy to get into. 😉
Ahhh please,,,,, that was my crib door!!!!! You are all are sissies!!! LOL,,,, welcome to friggan Camden New Frigan Jersey jeeeezzzzzz !!!! LOL
Brickcity1306 you got me thinking (crib 😉 reference)…..
…obviously this is some sort of ‘day care’ facility for little’ns.
Dont you need a door on the firehouse like this in Camden? I went to a wedding there and the Church had a armed security guard!
Clearly this is a job for one of my dehydrated truck or rescue crews…just add water and they’ll handle the door!!
Oh and I am trying to firgure out how to make dehydrated hand tools too. This way the firefighter that always walks around with a Galls catalog attached to his helmet can store the items in his pockets and add water to the tools as he needs them, thus taking up less space. Hell, he could even keep them in a latex glove to protect them from water and being inadvertantly used!
Holy cow, thats a serious door…
Would probably have been easier to have the rookie go thru the cinder block wall with a sledge hammer! 🙂
as a bricklayer besides firefighter it appears that using a sledge hammer and bolt cutters to blast a hole through the block wall much easier,and tapcon on a sheet plywood to secure the opening afterword
