On January 26, the River Vale Fire Department staged a door prop drill at its North Firehouse, where members of the Montvale Volunteer Fire Department performed forceful entry training. Tool proficiency, door control, and forcible entry procedures for one and two people were the main topics of the drill. To increase productivity and coordination during forced entry operations, firefighters used a variety of techniques, including the usage of the Rabbit Tool.
