Using a Halligan Hook as a RIT Tool with AB Turenne
Manage episode 419868719 series 1418225
Every firefighter who rides an engine has a favorite tool: The Halligan Bar. As nearly all young firefighters learn, it was invented in 1948 by an FDNY Deputy Chief named Hugh Halligan.
Not long after that, he created the Halligan Hook. Sometimes it’s called a New York Roof Hook.
This six-foot bar is a favorite of truckies who need to open up roofs.
But there’s another way to use the Halligan Hook: as a rescue tool.
It takes a little creativity to see a bar meant for ripping open a roof as a way to save a firefighter's life.
Today’s guest is here to explain how to do it.
AB Turenne is the captain of training and safety with a career department in Middlesex County, Connecticut. He’s got 25 years on the job and is a certified Level III Fire Service Instructor.
