If I could change this thread and keep it going, one brother mentioned the Boston style hook as seen now on TV (Firehouse USA: Boston) its called a rake. While watching an episode of the Bravest a while back the San Francisco FD was using a tool both on the roof and for interior ceiling pulling called a hook but totally different from what most of us are used to. Question: is anyone using these different styles of hooks; that is, anything other than the NY style hook as well described by Alsfirefighter earlier. I am referring to interior work, I know most will use a trash hook for brush or dumpster fires. Also, if you ever have had to pull an ornamental tin ceiling, what tool and technique worked and what didn't. Thanks
