Welcome to the FLAIM
community. Thank you
for your purchase of the
FLAIM Trainer virtual reality
training system.
Quick Setup Guide
This manual should get you on your way in no time. It is designed for
trainers with minimal understanding of virtual reality. The FLAIM Trainer
system is not designed to replace hot fire training, but instead allows
experiential learning through a number of practical scenarios developed
to improve dynamic thinking, risk assessment, radio messaging, muscle
memory, hose handling technique and nozzle control. Our system is
designed so you can train people at all levels in your organisation, from
novice through to experienced firefighters. Giving you the ability to train and
develop their skillsets in safe environment with immersive, repeatable and
realistic fire scenarios.
The FLAIM Trainer can also be used to train the public in the dangers of
fire and allow them to appreciate the work that you do.
