Thank You. Mr. Hugh Halligan!

Wednesday, April 09

In 1948, Hugh Halligan developed what is arguably the most useful and versatile hand tool used in the fire service. This fast-paced class will illustrate just how versatile the halligan bar is, showing 150 uses in 105 minutes. Functional application will include numerous forcible entry disciplines, MVAs and extrication, horizontal and vertical ventilation, search, RIT, saving our own, salvage and overhaul, OV duties, augmenting ladder work, rescue company disciplines, and more.
