Is fire training in VR a good idea?

 

Fire safety is crucial for businesses, as fires can cause loss of life and property. Fire training is therefore essential to prevent risks and protect employees and business premises.

VR simulations offer new opportunities to reinforce this training and improve responsiveness in the event of an emergency. Using tools such as FIRE VRIn this way, every employee can make informed decisions in a realistic environment, which can help save lives and protect property.

Commercial PPE fire trainingtraining is not limited to learning how to use fire extinguishers. Our trainers go beyond this skill and cover the entire training process, covering all aspects necessary to be perfectly prepared in the event of a fire.

By opting for virtual reality training with FIRE VRWith this new technology, learners can benefit from realistic and varied simulations, as well as personalized training, offering significant advantages over traditional training methods.

It's crucial to react quickly in the event of a fire by sounding the alarm, calling the fire department and closing doors to prevent the rapid spread of flames and harmful smoke inhalation. However, some trainees may lack confidence in their ability to extinguish an advanced fire.

VR simulations offer opportunities to test trainees on the whole process, helping them to make informed decisions in a controlled, safe environment.

FIRE VR was launched in 2019 to counter the everyday risks that can arise without warning, and to be ready to know the first steps to take in the event of an incident.

The course offers 18 different situations (environment, type of fire, type of extinguisher, etc.).).

Each trainee is therefore assessed in a different context. The trainer can tailor the VR experience to each individual's strengths and weaknesses.

Combined with this fire training course, virtualized fire extinguishers enable trainees to carry out the entire fire-fighting process :

  • Removal of doubt
  • Door openings 
  • Phone calls
  • Alarm activation
  • Use of extinguishers
  • Power cuts 
  • Evacuation.

Thanks to connected real fire extinguishers and our fire training module in VR, trainees are plunged into a new era even more realistic and fun where they can feel the actual weight of the extinguisher and perform all the safety procedures required to prevent their business from suffering losses.

The installation process

Easy to set up and deploy (within 5 minutes)FIRE VR has a number of educational virtues, including the creation of realistic emotions, optimal memorization rates, and fire extinguisher training.

The benefits of virtual reality fire training

Simply put on the virtual reality headset and you'll find yourself in a realistic environment to explore. The hands are then automatically detected and displayed in the virtual reality fire training module. 

Moving around is as simple as making a quick gesture with your fingers.  It's essential that trainees can practice in stressful, realistic situations, especially when the audible alarm is triggered. However, many trainees find it difficult to apply the process in real-life situations.  

FIRE VR offers a solution by enabling trainers to guide trainees in the right direction and ensure that they will be able to make informed decisions in the event of an emergency. This approach has the potential to save lives and property.   

All you need to do is follow complete, optimal sessions lasting 5 to 6 minutes. 

For a complete evaluation, a trainer interface is available to monitor trainee progress in real time, enabling on-the-spot follow-up and debriefing. Trainees are immersed in an interactive virtual environment that accurately recreates emergency situations, allowing them to feel immersed in the situation.  

This encourages more emotionally involved learning. 

Virtual reality training offers greater flexibility in the creation and adaptation of fire scenarios. Trainers can customize situations to meet the specific needs of each trainee, enabling each participant to be assessed in different contexts. This targeted approach improves training effectiveness by focusing on the areas where trainees most need improvement.

Compared with conventional training, virtual reality training offers a number of advantages. Firstly, it offers a wide range of realistic simulations, enabling participants to experience a variety of situations and train themselves to react appropriately.

What's more, virtual reality training can be customized to suit individual needs, enabling more effective learning.

Virtualized fire extinguishers

What's more, our real fire extinguishers connected to virtual reality are 100% eco-friendly: the extinguishers used are second-hand. What's more, there's no more training with burning pallets, gas ignition, C02 emissions or additives in your parking lot. Your employees have no risk of burns or exposure to fumes.
Designed in 2022, the virtualized extinguishers are manufactured directly on our premises in France (78), in our Fab-Lab making them pure Made in France products.

 

Comprising a kit of 2 revolutionary fire extinguishers (Water and CO2), radically changing the way VR fire training is taught thanks to direct, realistic action.

  • Tracking in space
  • Recycled real fire extinguisher
  • Design and manufacturing in France

He is important also confront trainees with the challenge of making decisions on their own, and on unique issues.  

By immersing the learner in a real-life situation, virtual reality isolates him or her from other trainees and the trainer. As a result, they have to make decisions on their own, as happens in most real-life situations. With 18 scenarios per environment, each trainee experiences a unique situation and has to make decisions based on it. 

Fire VR is a complete tool combining immersiveness and realism, anchored by direct experience and muscle memory activation.
