Size Up
Identify the building, occupancy, conditions, access, exposures, survivability profile, and immediate problems.
ComTac Fire Simulator
Stop Talking About Command.
Practice It.
The simulator places you in the role of the Incident Commander. You size up the problem, communicate your plan, deploy resources, respond to changing conditions, and review your performance.

What you actually do
The simulator turns knowledge into observable command performance.
Establish Command
Organize the incident, state your initial priorities, and establish the strategic direction.
Communicate
Give clear reports, assignments, benchmarks, and follow-up direction using your own voice.
Make Decisions
Choose tactics, deploy resources, manage risk, and make the next decision as information develops.
Reassess
Monitor conditions and change the plan when the building, fire, or resource picture changes.
Review
Review your transmissions, evaluation, self-assessment, and the opportunities you identified for improvement.
More than a visual scenario
An interactive command environment with people, radio traffic, and consequences.
- Virtual dispatcher, responding crews, and role players
- Recorded transmissions for review
- Automated evaluation referenced to fire-service training criteria
- Self-assessment against department expectations
- Short post-simulation learning review
- Scenarios designed to change and require reassessment
“I use ComTac to move students beyond talking about command. They have to size up the incident, communicate, make assignments, and manage changing conditions. It turns classroom knowledge into practical decision-making.”
The goal
Measure. Reflect. Improve. Get stronger.
ComTac does not replace live experience. It gives officers more opportunities to prepare for it.
