BCFTOA Workshop: Developing Simulations for Fire & Safety Training

This workshop presents a hands-on approach to delivering the “whys” and “hows” of incorporating computer-based simulations into Fire & Safety training and evaluation. It mixes both discussion and practical how-to’s on developing computer-based simulations using the SimsUshare Sim Builder platform as an example.

Discussions primarily center on helping participants to identify areas in which simulations have been used to develop and strengthen performance, as well as identify potentially weak areas that can be improved in a positive manner, for example, communication, strategy, tactics, and developing/evaluating SOG’s/Policies. The how-to portion involves a guided, step-by-step approach for creating simulations using first-due photos (if participants bring their own) in walkarounds enhanced with animated smoke and fire effects that can evolve. The focus of the how-to’s will be on single and multi-family residential structures, but Jonathan will also demonstrate how simulations can be used for industrial, EMS/accidents, HazMat, and active threat scenarios.

Each participant receives a free, three-month subscription to SimsUshare (see below) which will allow participants to create a base set of simulations for their training programs that they can take back to their departments and organizations.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Workshop participants can use the following license code to get free access/use of SimsUshare Platinum, for Windows or Mac, through September 10, 2019.
