Before entering, Marines throw a hand grenade into the new entrance to reinforce the
effects of the original blast. When making a new entrance in a building, they consider the
effects of the blast on the building and adjacent buildings. If there is the possibility of a fire in
an adjacent building, Marines coordinate with adjacent units and obtain permission before
starting the operation. In wooden-framed buildings, the blast may cause the building to
collapse. In stone, brick, or cement buildings, supporting fires are aimed at the corner of the
building or at weak points in the building construction.
