Forcible Entry is the skill a firefighter uses to gain access to a locked building that is on fire while doing the minimal amount of damage possible.
The Explorers were allowed to use a an old mobile home that was donated by a local mobile home dealer.
The pictures show the Explorers developing their skills while using the "irons" or halligan bar and flat head axe. These are but two of the tools that firefighters use to force entry into a burning building.
