In a means to promote continuity in the operations and management within the fire service, the Virginia Department of Fire Programs (VDFP) has purchased an incident management training simulator that will aid in the department's training; promote professionalism; and improve overall competency and skill levels of the Commonwealth’s first responders. This simulation software, Digital Combustion’s Fire Studio, will be available in command training centers at each of the division locations within the VDFP and will include a mobile lab. This course will introduce the concept and benefits of simulated training using the Digital Combustion’s Fire Studio. It has been shown that simulation technology training for virtual emergencies yields real results. This technology will allow personnel to train in a dynamic, real-time environment, which can only be replicated with actual fire ground operations. Simulation technology is filling the need for realistic, recurrent, safe and affordable training for emergency responders. This simulation technology will help develop command, strategy, tactics, communication and equipment usage skills, in a safe, effective, and economical manner. Although simulations can’t replace street-level experience, it can effectively prepare firefighters and officers for real-world emergencies. Come and learn about this new and exciting training tool that is available in Virginia.
