What You Need
A modern computer or laptop, reliable internet access, and working audio. No apparatus, burn building, or dedicated training facility is required.
ComTac Fire Simulator
Stop Talking About Command.
Practice It.
A private, immersive place to practice fireground command, make decisions, communicate assignments, review your performance, and get better before the real call.
No classroom. No audience. No apparatus out of service.
How the simulations work
What You Do
Speak your reports and assignments, direct resources, respond to updates, and continue managing the incident.
What You Get
A recorded performance, an evaluation, a self-assessment opportunity, and a clear next step for improvement.
What you actually do
The simulator turns knowledge into observable command performance.
Size Up
Identify the building, occupancy, conditions, access, exposures, survivability profile, and immediate problems.
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.
How sets and reps help
Build awareness through concentrated command repetitions.
Establish Your Baseline
Run a simulation the way you would normally command them. Pay attention to what you recognize, what you communicate, and where you hesitate.
- Private performance review
- No expectation of perfection
Apply What You Learned
Run one more incident and deliberately apply what you recognized after the first one. Focus on clarity, priorities, assignments, and follow-up.
- New conditions and problems
- Immediate opportunities to adjust
- Repetition with purpose
See What Changed
Complete the third simulation and compare your comfort, recognition, communication, and decision-making to the first one.
- 1 final command repetition
- Compare the first to the last
- Identify your next development goal
What the simulations reveal
This is not about proving what you know. It is about discovering what you actually do.
Do you recognize conditions sooner?Are your assignments clear?Where do you hesitate?What information do you miss?Do you reassess as conditions change?Are you more confident by the third simulation?
“What surprised me most was how much more comfortable I felt by the third day. The repetition made a difference. I was giving clearer assignments, recognizing conditions faster, and feeling more confident in my decisions. Nine simulations in three days gave me command practice I simply do not get every day.”
“After completing the Three-Day Challenge, I realized there were decisions I thought I was making quickly that I was actually hesitating on. The simulations forced me to think, communicate, and act under pressure. I came away with a much clearer picture of where I need to improve.”
Private by Design
Your results are yours to review. The environment is designed to help you learn honestly without the pressure of performing in front of an audience.
Built Around Repetition
Back-to-back simulations give you the repetitions to recognize patterns, test adjustments, and feel the difference deliberate practice can make.
New and experienced officers
A challenge that supports initial officer development and continuing competency.
“This was very challenging. I learned a lot about what this process is. It will be good for new officers and continuing education for current officers to keep knocking the rust off.”
The goal
Measure. Reflect. Improve. Get stronger.
Free Three-Simulation Challenge
Gives you one day of access to 3 simulations and 3 Virtual Training Officer videos.
