Good video. Mike Perrone's prop is the best I've used and forces you to have good technique. Pro bar all the way. I mark the fork and adz at the 3/4 door jam depth for myself and to show students how deep to set the tool. A mark can also be made to show the crotch of the fork. I also file the back of the fork down to create a striking surface for confined spaces. Finally I file grooves into the axe so that it marries better with halligan. Thank you for another informative video.
This video begins with a basic review of of the "Irons" (Halligan Bar and Striking Tool) and than transitions to an introduction of a Forcible Entry training door designed and created by Mike Perrone of the FDNY (Fire Department of New York).......
In my opinion this is the best commercially made forcible entry prop on the market today - We have one at the College I teach for and will soon be purchasing one for my career FD as well. For more information on Mike's prop check out his Web Site at: FirehouseInnovations. com

Great video but I think you need a blacker helmet
