Guys, this was a training video. The truck backed up and it wasn't a winch being used. Listen to the brakes... Now you have a moving vehicle with firefighters on the scene. If this was a fire, then it is being done during intial stress... more chances of backing over somebody, not to mention the chances of a driver pulling to fast with extreme tension and having flying metal parts when the building lets go. The other thing they didn't address is the fact that you can't have lines off this truck and charged while using your first due to Force WRECK the structure...
I've seen it before... it was pretty rural and it was a backhoe.

So instead of using a disc cutter or bolt cutter to cut through a small section to investigate, they rip the whole front door apart- what a toss! Totally unnecessary.
Also, what's with the "incident stop" Pants they're wearing?
