EAS

training.
Agencies that
attended this training include:
Ocean City-Wright Fire Control District
Mary Esther Fire Department
Hurlburt Field Air Force Fire Department
Okaloosa Island Fire Department

"The most important thing from
this training is that we now know how to get through
in case of an emergency. These doors are some of
the strongest doors I have ever seen. There is no
question they are a major deterrent for anyone trying
to break into your home. Our usual techniques for
entry don't work. But, now that we have the training
to recognize these doors, we know exactly what tools
we need to get through in an emergency"

To support our community,
promote hurricane awareness, and provide safety training,
EAS Doors and Windows Inc.; hosted a large scale public
safety training on June 1st, the first day of Hurricane
Season. We teamed with the Ocean
City-Wright Fire District, and Fully
Involved Fire, a firefighter training company.
By supporting the community and promoting public safety
we donated several of our products and set up a large
training operation at our facility for "first
responders". The training focused on providing
Law Enforcement and Firefighters techniques on how
to quickly breach hurricane rated sliding glass doors
in an emergency. We want to ensure that first reponders
know the best procedures for breaching our doors should
they have to get in quickly in an emergency.
This was the first
event like this in the country. Now, firefighters
know exactly how to get through our doors in an emergency.
With the right training and tools, emergency workers
can breach our products very quickly. However the
testing and training showed that our doors can easily
withstand normal breaking and entry techniques.
|
An attempted
entry with a battering ram assault from the
sheriff's department could not breach our doors. |
 |
|
Our doors withstood
multiple attempts from firefighters swinging
axes and Halligan Bars. In fact one of the forged
Halligan bars was even bent attempting to breaking
our glass.
|
 |
|
Firefighters
even used vehicle extrication tools like hydraulic
cutters, similar to the jaws of life to attack
our products.
