Members spent time training with East Vineland 12-2 on forcible entry techniques. Under instructor supervision they practiced a variety of methods for forcing open the training door — simulating locked, jammed, and otherwise stubborn doors — focusing on tool selection, striking points, and coordinated team movements. The session emphasized safety, controlled entry procedures, and speed-accuracy tradeoffs so crews can confidently and efficiently make access during real incidents.
