Cautious use of water when firefighting is a skill that some fire services took on board only fairly recently. And as far as damage when effecting entry was concerned, there was little more satisfying to the average firefighter than taking a sledgehammer to a recalcitrant door.
In high-rise, the dry-riser doors on the floor of the fire plus above and below were a particular favourite for destruction - despite every vehicle having a set of keys.

In the city where I worked, dry riser cupboards had usually been vandalised by persons unknown long before we arrived and there was no need for any further destruction if we needed to access the valves.
