KINGSTON, N.J. (Sept. 15, 2025) — Members of the Kingston Volunteer Fire Company held a training session Monday night focused on forcible entry skills.
Firefighters reviewed leverage, striking methods and ways to create purchase points to improve tool effectiveness and efficiency. Officials said such training is critical because crews often need to gain rapid access when keys are not available during emergencies.
