Axe Week: A day-three triple-axe FIRE SALE!!!

Three useful axes.

Fire Axe: Need to get through an obstacle in an emergency? That obstacle might be a door in a burning building or an unexpected assailant in an urban fight scene. No matter the obstacle, a conveniently paced fire axe is your answer. Found behind glass in a hallway near you.

While not explicitly referencing one specific axe, using the emergency fire axe in an action or horror movie is a time-tested trope. It is a reasonably accessible object that is an effective enough semi-improvised weapon.
