Notice 44 OV using the battery operated DeWalt circular saw. Very lightweight and has a purpose. But he put it down and went back to the rig and got the Gasoline powered FE saw with 12” blade. Also note the FE saw fired up on the first pull of the cord. 😉. Obviously it was properly checked out and run at the beginning of the tour 44 OV hustled and dun good. Expect nothing less from 44/92. Nice video. Thanks for sharing.3828CBD2-DA1F-46C0-89AE-3EF84979B645.jpeg

I agree. I think taking the DeWalt is a good option as the OV when you know you're going to face window bars. Modern lightweight option and you're not sacrificing too much by taking it. Plus you never know what other obstacles you'll have to face to get into position that will require cutting such as fences, bars, locks, etc. Other options include grinders or rebar cutters. All have their pros and cons. It's about getting out and drilling in your area to find what works for your companies SOPs. It also looks like from the video that these window bars weren't run of the mill and had heavy duty hinges, as the video illustrated it took a lot of manpower and time to get them off. 44 and all companies involved did a great job.

I agree with the above, but if it's implied that a saw that starts on the second pull is an indication of an improperly maintained saw I disagree.

Personally I always questioned whether or not a Saw (or similar Gasoline powered tool ) should be started EVERY tour rather than lets say once a day .....if at the start of every FDNY tour that would be twice a day or 730 starts per year as opposed to at the start of every 6x9 / night tour which would be 365 starts a year.....this I feel preserves the life of certain parts & may provide one more start when it was needed for real .....I am just talking about a regular tool check start ....of course there will be more per year counting Drills & of course actual operations.......JMO.
