TOOL ADAPTATION "TRICKS"
BY TOM BRENNAN
The "key tool(s)." You either have used the "through-the-lock" method of forcing entry to locked doors on or within fire buildings, are adopting it, or are so far behind in basic firefighting that this column won`t help you. In any event, have you ever found that the tool accompanying the "K" tool, "A" tool, or "O" tool--or whatever else that may have been proved inadequate in some experienced departments--is just not there (missing from the holder, lost, or has vibrated loose and is found on the floor of the apparatus cab or tool compartment after the cylinder has been pulled)? What do you do in such cases? Make your own individual tool set.
