Forcible Entry Academy
Instructed by Brothers in Battle LLC
4 States | 3 Days FOR THEM
This 3-day Forcible Entry Academy takes firefighters through a full progression of training, starting with the fundamentals of the Fireground Basic Irons, where students build strong habits with traditional hand tools learning to dress and set up tools, size up and defeat forcible entry challenges, control doors, communicate effectively, and perform standardized techniques both solo and as a team. Day two expands into Advanced Irons & Saws, adding new tools and challenges with a comprehensive saw operations module, followed by hands-on residential and commercial scenarios that require coordinated Irons and Saw work. The program culminates with Refined by Fire: Forcible Entry where firefighters refine their skills under live fire, heat, and smoke conditions - performing forcible entry and rescues in environments that demand speed, precision, and accountability.
Together, these three days test, sharpen, and prepare firefighters to operate with confidence and competence when the stakes are highest: mask up quickly, make the force, make the grab - NO excuses. This is an intensive program requiring real and exhaustive work through long days, continuous reps, and pushing boundaries.
