A fireman's axe is a specialized heavy-duty rescue tool designed for chopping, prying, and breaching during emergency operations. Unlike standard axes, these are engineered with high-strength forged steel and often feature insulated handles tested to withstand up to 20,000 volts for safety near electrical hazards. Primary Types of Fire Axes:

• Pick-Head Axe: Features a sharp blade on one side and a pointed pick on the other. It is specialized for penetrating walls, prying open roofs for ventilation, and creating footholds on sloped surfaces.
• Flat-Head Axe: Features a flat, hammer-like poll opposite the blade. It is most commonly "married" to a Halligan bar to form a set of "Irons," where the flat head serves as a striking surface to drive the Halligan into doors or locks.
