My name is Michael
Perrone. I am 30 year veteran of the FDNY. I have been a member of
Ladder 175 (East New York, Brooklyn) for the past 20 years. In the
past, to train our members in the art of forcible entry, we would
take the company to one of the vacant buildings located in our
response area. There, we would nail or screw closed a door and we
would force it a few times until it was so damaged we could not
force it anymore. These days with the increase in property values,
it is not easy finding vacant buildings to work in. With that in
mind I developed the Multi-Force forcible
entry door system.
I took this door to
the FDIC Firefighters Convention in Indianapolis which was held
there in April, 2008. I taught forcible entry for the "Hot" (Hands
On Training) class for 2 days. The door was forced hundreds of times
with no damage to the door. The door got rave reviews from the
firefighters who worked on it.
The Multi-Force forcible entry door system has actively been in use
by the City of New York Fire Department (FDNY) since September of
2008, as well as other training facilities and
Fire Departments.
In 2008, Fire
Engineering Magazine purchased one of our doors and for the last 5
years has been used extensively in the Forcible Entry HOT (Hands-On
Training) class held annually at FDIC in Indiana with Mike, who has
trained over 300 firefighters from around the country every year.
Talk is cheap, so why don't you click on
the video and find out for yourself why the brothers who have tried
the door, want the door. Thank you very much for your interest
in the Multi-Force door. Stay Safe and God Bless.
