We know that the most common type of fire alarm in our country is a single family residence. We also know that this is all too often where our firefighters get injured or killed.

Why? Our company officers and incident commanders need better training. In today’s hectic world, it is difficult to find the resources to access the type of training that will result in improving the cognitive decision making skills of the company officer.

The solution is Fully Involved ™, a virtual reality simulation training, called a “serious game” in computer education, developed to help company officers and those in training to develop, strengthen and practice their decision making skills in the most realistic delivery in the market. This product challenges the senses in a way that classroom exercises cannot begin to address.

Fully Involved™

Originally launched on DVD in 2007, the widely acclaimed Fully Involved virtual reality training product for company officers was made available through bookstores and resellers. Fully Involved offers users a realistic set of scenarios to hone their command and control skills, and specifically to protect the safety of their firefighters, through a series of increasingly challenging fire scenarios at a single family residence. The simulation is based on fire service best practice strategies and tactics, formal instructional design methodologies and real world case studies in addition to fast-moving graphic environments. Fully Involved is an effective teacher of cognitive judgment and stress management, designed to appeal especially to fire professionals familiar with computer games, or to remotely located volunteer firefighters who have less opportunity to attend professional events. Lessons learned in Fully Involved are unforgettable.
