How to operate Leatherhead Tools' pike poles?
Position the pike pole so that the hook or pike is facing the target, which could be burning material, debris or an obstruction that needs to be moved.
Use the hook or pike on the end of the pole to engage the target. This could involve hooking a piece of burning material or using the pike to lift a piece of debris out of the way.
Once the target is engaged, use the pike pole to pull or push it as needed. This could involve pulling burning material away from a structure or pushing debris out of the way to clear a path.
These pike poles can also be used as a lever to pry open doors or windows during search and rescue operations.
When using a pike pole, practice safe techniques, such as maintaining a safe distance from the fire and wearing proper protective gear.
