Door breaching

So, you know how we use doors to go in and out of rooms, right? Well, sometimes in really important situations, like when police or firefighters need to rescue someone or stop bad people, they can't open the door using a regular key. When this happens, they use a special tool called a breaching tool to break down the door.

When they use the breaching tool, they hit the door really hard in a certain spot to make it break open. This might sound like it would hurt the people inside the room, but the police or firefighters are really careful to make sure everyone is safe before they start breaching the door.

Once the door is broken open, the police or firefighters rush in to help the people inside. But they have to be careful because sometimes the bad people might be waiting on the other side of the door to hurt them. That's why they practice and train a lot before they ever have to use a breaching tool in a real situation.

So, door breaching is when people need to use a special tool to break down a door in an important situation, like rescuing someone or stopping bad people. It can be scary, but the people doing it are trained to keep everyone safe.
