halligan bar
A Halligan bar (also called a Halligan tool〔("Forcible Entry Reference Guide - Techniques and Procedures," ) New York City Fire Department, December 2006, accessed December 29, 2007.〕 or Hooligan tool in Australia) is a forcible entry tool used by firefighters and law enforcement.
==History==
The tool was designed by and named after a New York City Fire Department First Deputy Chief named Hugh Halligan in 1948. Later that year the first prototype of the Halligan bar was made by Peter Clarke (a blacksmith). Because the device had been invented by one of its members, the FDNY did not initially purchase the tool because of a perceived conflict of interest.〔''Fire Department City of New York: The Bravest; An Illustrated History 1865-2002'', page 72.〕 The City of Boston Fire Department was the first major customer of the Halligan, purchasing one for every fire company in the city. The tool was popular enough that members of New York ladder companies went out and bought it with their own money until the department ultimately decided to purchase the tool. The Halligan has become the most versatile hand tool that had been used for the past six decades for a multitude of fireground tasks.〔Morelock, Jamie. Upgrading the Halligan Bar's Roof Ring.
