Sentient’s Fire Extinguisher VR Training is a hands-on training experience that turns a real, degassed fire extinguisher into a VR training tool. Our hardware kit installs quickly onto your own degassed extinguisher and links to the training module via Bluetooth, so when learners aim the nozzle and squeeze the handle, those actions play out in the virtual scenario, with the weight and feel of the real thing, but no smoke and no live fire. Available as a complete hardware and software bundle, the module lets learners familiarise themselves with fire safety equipment and then work through a series of realistic, practical scenarios: checking the gauge, aiming the nozzle, squeezing the handle and sweeping across the base of the fire, just as they would in a real incident.
Learners progress through eight scenario-based fire-extinguishing training events set across an office, site workshop, processing plant, kitchen and enclosed underground mining areas. Each scenario presents a different class of fire (A, B, C, E and F) and calls for the correct extinguisher and technique, so learners cover the full range over the course of training. They can select the scenarios most relevant to their role and environment, and an optional tutorial room introduces fire classes, the PASS method, how to raise the alarm and the different extinguisher types — or learners can skip straight to the scenarios.
