In this firefighter spouse rescue training video, instructors Valerie Solano and Lauran Franklin show fire service spouses the two tools used in the married pair that are used for forcible entry.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPTION:

Keep going. Move down a little bit. Move your tool down. There you go. Drive! Keep going until she says stop.

If any of y’all sat through any of the lectures, um, a lot of them talk about languages, the lingo of the fire service. So, we’re going to teach you a little bit so you can talk with your hubby’s when you get back, and they can be so impressed. We’re talking about a married couple, and they’re not talking about you or anybody else, they’re really talking about these two items. (Laughing)

This is the fork end. Do you remember this one? The ads end. Ads A-ds. And last, but not least. Hike! Nice. Good. So, all of these are prying. And this one is for poking. Not anything to deal with a married couple part. (Laughing) You know what I’m saying?

Right here in our married couple is a crotch, is a crotch. And this is the crotch of the tool. And what I’m looking for and most of them are notched on the side is for this frame right here to be even with that crotch. So, I’m not watching the impact. The impact is, is happening there. And I know that’s scary, but that’s happening right there. But I’m saying strike, strike, strike totally focused on this. This is her job. And then the axe, it’s pretty self-explanatory. I mean, you have the butt end that is your force in it. So, we’re going to teach you the terminology of when and how to use this.
