4 Goals Forcible Entry Validate, research, discussions, theories and lessons learned Tools Tactics Best Practices Develop Training Media High Definition Video Step by Step Process Distribute to ARFF / Fall 2010 Fire Fighter Refinement Evolution of Processes

5 Aircraft Construction 101 Main Deck Belly Hold Behind the Interior Finish and Insulation

6 A Picture Worth a Thousand Words! Main Deck Window Box Window Mounting Clips Longerons Longitudinal, Stringers Vertical Frame Formers, Bulkheads, Frames Larger aircraft, Larger structural components, Greater cutting depth required.

7 More Construction Insight

8 The Set Up Aircraft No Fuel Secure Platform Fire Fighters Safe Platform PPE

9 Safety! Here to Help! Here to Heckle!

10 Planning the Cut Identify Rivet Line Locations Expose Rivets Mark Structural Components Identify Sweet Spots Mark Cut Lines Correct Tool s Correct Blades Correct Order SAFETY

11 Where to Cut Multiple Rivet Lines = Heavy Structural Reinforcement Main Deck Floor Level = Heavily Reinforced Cockpit = Heavily Reinforced Door Frames = Heavily Reinforced Wing Roots = Heavily Reinforced Attempts to cut heavily reinforced areas increase cutting time, fatigue. Reduces blade life / size and efficiency.

12 Removing Windows Remove 4 windows

13 Marking the Cut High Visibility Colors Recommend (2) Be Carried Visibility through face shield, sweat, darkness Weight of saw, especially on horizontal cuts A Pink is the AVOID Line Green is the CUT Line Use the center of the 2 outside windows or blanks for vertical cuts

14 First Tool First Cut Circular Rescue Saw 16 Blade Diamond Tip or Composite for Masonry Top Horizontal Cut Follow CUT Line Cross Intersecting Line Use of Smaller Blade Requires Completion / Reciprocating Saw

15 Top Cut Saw is quite heavy, working above shoulders, make hardest cut first.

16 Bottom Cut Awkward position. Cut made second as, if left until last, will bind on blade due to weight.

17 Vertical Cuts Start at Top Second Rescuer Holding Piece Cross all Intersecting Lines Sawzall to Free Up any Pieces Not Cut Through

18 Removal If Full Thickness Cuts and Intersecting Lines, the Piece is Ready to Be Removed

19 Protect the Lower Edge

20 Blades Always Maintain Spares / Failure & Shrinkage Blades Collect Heated Aluminum Clean Blades on Concrete Block or Steel

21 Alternate Method Remove Windows Make Lines to Avoid Make Lines to Cut Intersect all Lines Halligan / Sledge Hydraulic Tools (Jaws) Reciprocating Saw Air Chisel

22 Making the Holes
