Fire Axe

A fire axe is a heavy, two-handed axe used by pre-War firefighters as a means to enter a burning building, either by cutting through a door or straight through a nearby wall. Post-War, the fire axe serves as a devastating melee weapon.

While many fire axes are pre-War artifacts, their design is relatively simple, and many have been crafted since the apocalypse. Intended purely as weapons, these post-War axes are often called "battle axes" or "great axes" instead.
