Where firefighters come to talk training

Hey guys I'm in desperate need of forcible entry prop. Of course we can't afford to buy one so I wanted to see if anyone had any great ideas. Thanks and stay safe.

Ricky,

I saw a decent home-made prop (for inward/outward swinging doors) behind a City of Orlando Fire Station. Send me an email and I will give to the contact info.

I've got photos of a prop we made out of scrap stuff found in dumpsters and a donated aluminum door. Email me at ohiofire1@gmail.com and I will send you some info. Also if you're interested, I posted an article a while back on www.fireservicewarrior.com titled "Poor mans forcible entry". You should be able to google it or search the archives on FSW and find it.
Thanks
