FireScapes — Fire training in virtual reality

Why fire, first

Fire is where hesitation costs the most.

In a real emergency there is no second attempt. FireScapes lets every worker practice extinguishing, evacuating and deciding under stress — safely, repeatedly, measurably.

FireScapes VR fire scenarios rendered in Unreal Engine

Extinguisher use

Choosing the right extinguisher, approaching the source correctly, operating under time pressure. CO₂, powder, water mist — each with realistic behavior.

Evacuation & PPE

Evacuation routes, muster points, smoke navigation and correct use of personal protective equipment in emergency conditions.

Confined spaces & maintenance

Confined-space entry procedures and fire-system maintenance: hydrants, detectors, sprinklers, alarms.

Validation

Studied with operators. Presented to specialists.

The approach behind FireScapes builds on research conducted with fire services and has been presented in specialist fire-safety settings.

Fire service research

Studies with firefighting operators and fire services have shown in the field that VR improves operational learning, procedures and decision-making under controlled stress.

Fire-prevention consultants

All of our scenarios are developed hand in hand with expert trainers, with an approach centered on behavior and decision-making.

Specialist settings

The XR solution has been presented at the Istituto Superiore Antincendi (ISA) in Rome and other specialist industry events, with interest focused on operational realism and decisional training.

The AI layer

The Metaphora dashboard, tuned for fire.

FireScapes shares the SafetyScapes AI behavior dashboard: hesitation on the extinguisher, gaze on the fire source, evacuation choices — observed, measured and turned into feedback.

Together with SafetyScapes

Part of one safety ecosystem.

FireScapes covers fire risk in depth; SafetyScapes extends the same method to the whole of workplace safety. The two platforms share the AI dashboard and can be adopted separately or together.
