Me and another neighbor grabbed fire hoses and put that apartment and the one above it out before the fire dept got there. “When seconds count” right?
Why not be an operator type operator and shoot the hinges off with the shoulder thing that goes up?
If there are any doors still standing by the time you get there then you are not operating hard enough
