Finally made it to Bryan Ohio to visit their training site today. I took a bunch of pictures and attached just a few. Lots of good ideas- two pieces of rubber overlapped is for practicing what its like to pull ceiling before going to a structure- overlapping the thick rubber creates tension on the push and pull. Car fire prop was made by them- got a lot of pics of that. Haz mat prop is the inside of a railcar where they attach garden hoses to different numbered leaks. I like how they attach their ceiling joists to the roof vent prop and counterweighted all openings on the car fire prop to create resistance for forcing hoods and doors.

(Also visited the Spangler Candy factory where I got so "jacked up" on Circus Peanuts and Dum Dum suckers I had to be forcibly removed from the property.)
