Firefighter Training Video: Residential Garage Doors

In Florida, sectional garage doors come with robust cross bracing, which is also referred to as hurricane or wind bracing. This type of bracing is so thick that it cannot be cut using a 14″ blade rotary saw.

In this video from Miami-Dade (FL) Fire Rescue, Captain Jose Alzola demonstrates the sequence of rotary saw cuts to force a residential sectional garage door fortified with horizontal wind bracing.
