The FLAIM Trainer is a virtual reality firefighter training system that incorporates haptic technology and biometric sensors while immersing the firefighter in one of 60 different scenarios. Not intended to replace live-fire training, the FLAIM Trainer helps firefighters and trainees build muscle memory and gives them experience with events they might not see until the day they hear that incident called over the engine radio.

Fire department training divisions should include some input from the mechanical division. As a mechanic, I can’t teach someone the proper way to put out a fire. I’m not trained for that. In the same breath, firefighters aren’t expected to know how the equipment they use works mechanically. Although firefighters don’t need to understand how to fix the equipment, a general understanding of how something works affects how they use it.
