Firefighter Training in VR

Realistic Training.

Real-World Readiness.

XpertFire immerses firefighters in lifelike scenarios that build decision-making skills, teamwork, and confidence, without live fire risk or travel. Customizable modules put instructors in control, turning limited resources into unlimited training possibilities.

Firefighter training is high stakes and every rep matters. With VR, instructors can deliver more reps in less time, focusing on decision-making, teamwork, and command under pressure.

XpertFire includes a growing library of environments and tools so every firefighter, from recruit to incident commander, can train safely on real-world skills.

Scenarios

XpertFire’s authoring tool allows trainers to design & share countless scenarios. For example:

Structure Fires: Residential, multi-story, and industrial environments
Search & Rescue: Visibility challenges, multiple victim profiles
Incident Command: Multi-unit coordination, communication drills
EV & Lithium-Ion Fires: Roadways, modern hazards, controlled chaos
Public Education: Teach the public impactful home safety tips
Recruitment: Put potential recruits in the role

Tools & Equipment

VR firefighter tools let trainees handle gear exactly as they would on scene, building muscle memory, coordination, and confidence.

Hose Lines & Nozzles: Practice water management, nozzle handling, and stream application
Thermal Imaging Cameras (TICs): Navigate smoke and locate victims
Radios: Communicate with team members
Ladders & Forcible Entry Tools: Train on placement and resource management
SCBA & Control Module: Manage air levels, alarms, and safety procedures

1. Built with Firefighters:

Every module starts with insights from active firefighters, instructors, and safety officers who share what’s needed most in the field.

2. Refined in the Field:

Departments around the world test early simulations, offering feedback that shapes new tools, features, and scenarios.

3. Improved Every Cycle:

We release updates every two months, ensuring XpertFire grows alongside the needs of your department and community.

To say "beyond impressed" would not be saying enough. - San Diego Fire Captain

"In 13 years of teaching, this was the best student performance I’ve seen.” - Brad K., Pre-Service Fire Instructor, Conestoga College

“No one can top you guys in VR training realism." - Fire Chief, Top 20 Canadian Department

“In the fire service, evolution is inevitable. Training too must adapt to meet these every-changing needs. Products like XpertFire foster this necessary transformation." - Corona Fire Chief Young

How much does it cost?

We price based on your department’s size and needs, with subscriptions starting around $3,000 annually. Packages vary depending on number of firefighters, hardware kits, data tracking, and any custom scenarios. While one-time licenses are available, most departments choose the subscription as it includes bi-monthly updates and community access for continuous feedback and improvements.

How long does it take to learn VR?

We’ve trained users aged 5 to 95, most are comfortable within 5–10 minutes. Our fire station “lobby” environment makes it easy to practice VR controls and tools before scenarios begin. Plus, our three simple controls used in XpertFire keep it intuitive and accessible for everyone.

Do you provide in-person training?

Yes. We offer every department rollout an in-person training day with our team to ensure your officers are fully confident in setup, facilitation, and best practices.

Does VR cause motion sickness?

Poorly designed simulations can but XpertFire was engineered to prevent it. All movement is user-controlled, optimized for comfort, and includes customizable settings for reduced motion.

How many people can train at once?

You can train as many people as your hardware allows. Each scenario supports up to 8 firefighters in the same environment today, expanding to 21+ users later this year with online multi-user support.

How long does a VR session take?

XpertFire’s simulations are sandbox environments, letting firefighters move freely and practice as if they were on a real scene. Sessions can last anywhere from 5 to 55 minutes, depending on the scenario and your training goals. Most departments run individual simulations in 15–20 minutes, and design full VR training blocks of 1–4 hours around them, blending lessons, teamwork, and debrief discussions.
