Flame-Sim work with firefighters to design their software

Flame-Sim LLC creator of FLAME-SIM, a virtual environment designed to help firefighters perfect their fire fighting tactics will have a demonstration set up at Booth #937, within the Firehouse Expo 2011 at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, MD, July 21- 23, 2011. 

The FLAME-SIM booth will be showing off their highly developed firefighter training environment, that balances low costs with advanced instruction in a virtual 3D environment.

FLAME-SIM software designed in partnership with firefighters, gives training officers and chiefs the ability to customize scenarios with variable response times for rig deployment, equipment carried, fire growth, and even bystander location and condition.  Advanced user controls and a large library of locations and structures to choose from, gives the training officer a near-infinite amount of detailed customization.

Once the FLAME-SIM training environment has been created, up to ten firefighters can join in the 3D environment, with decision making, accountability and communications all being recorded in real-time.  System generated after-action reports create a detailed analyses of firefighter responses times and actions with in the simulation.  FLAME-SIM provides unparalleled cost effective training to firefighters, which has been proven to increase firefighters understanding of command driven fire-ground tactics by up to 50%.
