Firefighter Sims

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a firefighter, Firefighting Simulator: Ignite is about to give you the most realistic experience possible. This game, developed by Weltenbauer and published by Astragon Entertainment, takes firefighting simulations to a whole new level. Whether you’re playing solo or teaming up with friends, you’ll be stepping into the boots of a real firefighter, responding to emergencies, saving lives, and battling intense fires. One of the coolest things about this game is how realistic it is. Fires don’t just sit there waiting for you to put them out—they spread dynamically, reacting to the environment, materials, and ventilation. If you don’t handle a fire correctly, it can quickly get out of control. You’ll need to use real firefighting tactics, like ventilating rooms, cooling overheated objects, and choosing the right extinguishing agents. The game even includes officially licensed firefighting gear from brands like HAIX®, Fire-Dex, and STIHL, so ev...

In my continuous search for fire simulators, today I came across a German PC game. The game is called Feuerwehr Simulator 2010 . Below is the trailer and I went to the website and used Google to translate it. Here are the details of the game: What Fire fans have been waiting for. The fire simulator 2010 provides for the first time a realistic fire simulation from a first person perspective of the fireman. The development studio VSTEP also stands out for professional fire simulations for firefighters. Take on the role of one or more men of a fire station.

I found this video on Youtube and tracked it back to the University of Rhode Island Transportation Center (URITC) web page. There really was not a lot of information on the page a bout the simulator. Here is the video. If anyone has more info, please post a comment. Thanks.

I went to check out Fire Scene Simulator 6 today and found it was no longer available for download.  Fire Scene Simulator was a free software download that allowed  users to import photos of local structures within their department’s jurisdiction and add animated fire and smoke to those structures.  When I went to the website this message was posted: Thank you for your interest in Fire Scene Simulator 6. However, Fire Scene Simulator 6 and Simulator 6 expanded are no longer available for download or purchase. The creators of the program are going back and redeveloping the software to make it compatible with current operating systems. There is a link to fill out a survey so you can be notified of the next release.

I am always browsing around the web looking at different fire simulations, because you know you can never train too much. I ending up on the StageIT web page the other day. They had a link to a news story about a Searcy, AR department that is using their Emergency Response Simulator and I attached the video below. The system looks like it lets you build lots of different exercises because you can select different scenarios as you go along. The one thing I thought was interesting was that according to the news clip you can take a digital photo of any building in your area and input it into the simulator for use in a simulation. The simulator comes pre-loaded with clip art images, commercial and residential photographs, fire, smoke animations and over 130 sound files. There is also an expansion pack if you need more smoke and fire effects. The base package with the instructor's license and manual is running $1499 right now with student licenses running $159. You can check the...

If you are a seasoned firefighter, recruit or anywhere in between, you need to experience the Swede Flashover Simulator if you haven’t yet. The Swede Flashover Simulator lets you observe (Phase 1) and experience the progressive stages of fire and the heat that is generated as the fire builds to the Flashover and have the opportunity to apply fire stream applications you have been taught (Phase 2). Being able to accomplish these task all while meeting NFPA 1403 safety requirements is a challenging task for Fire Instructors in today’s world. Firefighter training accomplished through repetition is the guaranteed way for the firefighter to learn how to act when the need arises. The Swede Flashover Simulator lets you as the instructor repeat training evolutions in about 5 minutes for each evolution and to allow the fire to return to the free burn state. The Swede Flashover Simulator is just one component of the Swede Survival System by Dräger Safety can be configured in different ways....

Automation controls are helping firefighters get the full training experience without the danger. With the ability to monitor the smoke machines, the sprinklers, the temperature in the training environment trainers can automatically shut down the system when circumstances become dangerous, something that one could not do a few years ago training in old abandoned buildings.

Have you ever wanted to drive a fire engine? Of course you have or maybe you already do but would like to drive a European model. I found this website the other day that offers driving experiences. Spend an hour with an experienced instructor and firefighter, learn how to manoeuvre, safely and quickly, around a specially laid out course including top gear main roads, roundabouts, T- junctions, slaloms, garages etc. To make things as realistic as possible the vehicle will be carrying a full equipment load and carrying 2 tons of water, plenty to go at with the hose! Locations: Lincolnshire (Manby, nr Louth). Price: £ 175.00. They also have a lot of other cool vehicle experiences like the double decker bus and a tank. If you are going to be in the UK, check it out.
