Fire Safety

Live fire training has practical and safety limitations. VR allows learners to encounter a developing fire scenario, practise decision-making and rehearse evacuation and response procedures repeatedly.

Why VR is useful for this subject

Being immersed in a realistic, developing fire scenario helps learners understand escalation, wayfinding under pressure and correct response steps in a way that is far more memorable than a classroom description alone.

Who it is for

  • Fire safety training providers
  • Facilities and building managers
  • Employers with fire warden duties
  • Hospitality and retail employers

Frequently asked questions

Does this cover live extinguisher use?

The VR scenario supports awareness and decision-making; physical extinguisher handling should continue to be covered through your existing practical training where required.

Can scenarios reflect our building layout?

Please discuss specific scenario requirements with your UK contact — this page describes general scenario themes rather than a confirmed application list.
