Quick Setup Guide
Welcome to the FLAIM community. Thank you for your purchase of the
FLAIM Trainer virtual reality training system.
This manual should get you on your way in no time. It is designed for trainers with minimal understanding of virtual reality. The FLAIM Trainer system is not designed to replace hot fire training, but instead allows experiential learning through a number of practical scenarios developed
to improve dynamic thinking, risk assessment, radio messaging, muscle memory, hose handling technique and nozzle control. Our system is designed so you can train people at all levels in your organisation, from novice through to experienced firefighters. Giving you the ability to train and develop their skillsets in safe environment with immersive, repeatable and realistic fire scenarios. The FLAIM Trainer can also be used to train the public in the dangers of fire and allow them to appreciate the work that you do.
