HUD Window Thinking and Learning from Past Fires

The term HUD Window refers to the stereotypical wooden board up frequently seen on "vacant" buildings, damaged buildings, and occasionally buildings under construction. It's not a standardized term - I'm sure there are many regional variations. Just as there are variations in the name, there are variations in the style, construction, and manner of installation. As with all things forcible entry, a "one plan" approach is likely to fail you when the unexpected is encountered.
