Firefighter Simulations

Commercial Taxpayer Fire Simulation It is a cold, clear, dry Sunday in March. Dispatch reports that callers see smoke coming out of a vacant property on the corner of 128th Ave. and Harmony. The vacant property adjoins several commercial businesses...	Bedroom Fire Take control of the fireground in this free online simulation. Practice ventilation and positive pressure operations at a structure fire. Includes training documents like a size-up guide and sample scenario.
Bus Accident Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) This firefighter-EMT training simulation depicts an overturned school bus on the Northbound lane of Interstate-95 in the late afternoon. Responders arrive at the rear of the bus (on the Northbound side), but can navigate through and around the bus, as well as onto the Southbound side.	Deli Fire Check out a free interactive simulation that lets you train on tactical decision making at a taxpayer deli fire. Features supplementary training documents including size-up tips and comprehensive control sheet.
Fast Food Restaurant Fire It is a cool, clear, fall day with no wind. Around 3 p.m., bystanders notice smoke and fire coming from the roof of the Fire Pit, a local fast-food restaurant. The employees don't even know that the building is on fire...	Garage Fire 911 dispatch has received a call reporting smoke coming from the garage of a neighbor's house. How do you respond? You can use this free Web simulation, today, to train your firefighters and officers.
Hazmat Simulation: Automobile vs. Tank Car It is a cold Fall morning. Dispatch receives a call from a bystander that an automobile has collided with a tank car...	Pump Operator Simulation: The Basics This simulation provides you with a set of basic skill exercises for your drivers/pump operators, from apparatus inspection to operating the pump panel.
Row House Fire Just after 10 a.m. on a hot Sunday, 911 dispatch has received a call reporting smoke coming from the third floor windows of a row house that neighbors thought was vacant. Use this free Web training tool to practice training in a safe environment.	Row Home Kitchen Fire (or Meth Lab) This firefighting simulation scenario depicts a kitchen fire in an ordinary brick and joist constructed building with a one-story wood frame extension in the rear.
Residential Fire Simulation: Wood Frame, Asphalt Siding It is a cool, clear, Fall weekend day with with a strong wind blowing from side B to side D. Around 10 a.m., dispatch receives calls from neighbors reporting that a two-story house is on fire...	High-Rise Dorm Fire This free online simulation allows you to pressurize a stairwell using positive pressure and practice using an elevator to review your high-rise procedures.

Developing a Simulation Training Program

In 2004, the Houston (TX) Fire Department (HFD) began an officer development program to train all current officers and members eligible to operate in that position. The program is divided into three modalities: chief officer (CODC), company officer (ODC), and newly promoted officer (NPO). We formed a committee of officers representing different geographical locations and shifts and began writing a curriculum. At the same time, the department was conducting its annual aircraft rescue firefighting (ARFF) large-scale certification drill. At the postincident briefing, we observed that participating officers and chief officers vigorously debated the various strategies and tactics employed, while the firefighters were busy examining the insides of their eyelids.
