This Virtual Fire Simulator is truly a technological breakthrough that satisfies both safety and environmental concerns while providing expert training on the use of fire extinguishers.

Fire extinguisher training is based upon the fact that fires start small (known as incipient fires) and may be extinguished by knowledgeable employees utilizing proper equipment.

Without this training there is a much greater risk of the fire spreading and employees being injured while using an extinguisher improperly.

When the hands-on training takes place, we transform the set-up into a virtual fire simulated right on a large transparent screen. The student points the extinguisher nozzle at the simulated fire and squeezes the handle.

Compressed air (for added realism at the time of discharge) emanates from the nozzle along with a beam of light to show exactly where the extinguishing agent is being applied. If the proper sweeping pattern and distance are maintained, the fire will extinguish. This process permits immediate correction of the student’s technique should it not be the method used by experts.
