Where firefighters come to talk training
Looking for Feedback on Fire Engineering Training Simulations
Fire Engineering released the eleventh free online fire simulation today, which we helped to build, a High-Rise fire scenario. We're seeing a lot of usage of the simulations, but would like to get more discussions going about what is working best for you and what is not.
If you have a chance, please let us know what you want to see in the future. We created a Group devoted to using the simulations, so please post there and/or join the group to get in on the discussion.
Also, if you are going to FDIC, or need a good excuse to go, make sure to check out Chief Montagna's and Captain Miles' workshop at FDIC -- Simulation Training for Instructors. They will be using a variety of simulation programs but will share their experiences in how to apply simulations effectively.

I have found these beneficial. I have showed these to other people within my department and they felt the same way. I hope you continue to offer this in the future. Thanks.
