First Response: Fire

Fire Officers, Vehicle Commanders, Drivers and Firefighters can be trained in Command, Control, Coordination and Communication (C4), tactical response, rescue, fire fighting, extrication, hazmat operations, dynamic risk assessment, ventilation, water relay and vehicle operation as a single or a multi-discipline response with other first responders. For large scale operations ADMS can also support strategic level training. ADMS is used for education, training and assessment of individuals and teams.

Some of the situations that can be trained are building fires, collapsed buildings, tunnels, subways, hazmat incidents, road traffic accidents, tank farm, ship, aircraft, train, nuclear and power plants, and wild land incidents. Within these scenarios, all types of disasters can be simulated such as severe weather conditions (wind, snow, and floods), land slides and mud slides.

The physics-based simulation makes the fires and hazardous materials behave as they do in real-life and the crews and bystanders behave realistically due to the embedded artificial intelligence. Training with ADMS is realistic and the trainees experience the consequences of their decisions as they would in real-life situations.

Team training can be done for complete watches, including fire fighters, drivers, vehicle commanders and fire officers using a team training system that includes multiple Vehicle Stations (visual screen, sound, steering wheel, pedals, and turret controls) and a Fire Officer Station (visual screen and sound).

Examples of training for Fire:

• Command, Control, Coordination and Communication (C4) for Commanders
• Planning and Mapping for Command Post Staff
• Standard Operating Procedures
• Dynamic Risk Assessment
• Measuring hazardous materials with integrated measuring devices
• Driving and operating fire trucks with mounted turrets
