What is a Halligan bar made of?

A granola bar with all those nutrients would be a welcome sight to an exhausted and hungry firefighter, but that is not the kind of bar we had in mind. The Halligan was named for Deputy Chief Hugh Halligan in 1948 and is singlehandedly one of the most versatile and well-used pieces of firefighting equipment today. Made of drop-forged steel for strength and durability, the Halligan bar can be used to pry, cut, pick, twist, or punch its way through a variety of materials, allowing a firefighter to break into a building or car much more easily.
