We developed an entire training program for my department based on cutting roll-up doors. We built a roll-up door prop and acquired over 100 doors from a local mini-storage warehouse that replaced all of their doors.

We also developed a mini-storage warehouse fire training program that included basic lock and door entry techniques.

We teach cutting inspection holes, the triangle cuts, box cuts, and the Inverted L/West Coast cuts to all of our firefighters. We also involved a neighboring department so our tactics for roll-up doors are standardized.

Good to know. I had assumed that it was mostly laminated glass used in those store fronts. Thank you for the insight, and I retract my previous statement.
