Fire prevention education with VR
Firefighters play a key role in education and community prevention, with one of their main tasks being to engage children, youth, and adults in fire safety topics. With VR technology, firefighters can effectively conduct interactive and realistic training on fire prevention, engaging participants in a safe, controlled environment.

Fire safety is hard to teach without real drills
Without VR
- Lectures and demonstrations rarely engage younger audiences.
- Real fire drills need equipment, space, supervision and money.
- Not every community has the resources for real-life exercises.
- Potential recruits rarely get to see what being a firefighter is like.
With EHS VR
- Children practice in realistic emergency simulations without any risk.
- Recruits experience fire scenarios before they decide to join.
- Simulations run anywhere, without the logistics of real exercises.
- Lower costs than real drills, which matters for departments with limited resources.
Four ways to use VR at a fire department
Training children and youth
Firefighters can use VR in schools, conducting simulations of fires, evacuations, or first aid. Children learn safety principles in a realistic environment, without any risk, in a fully controlled space.
Virtual Firefighter Days
Participants, both children and adults, take part in interactive training and simulations of fires, evacuations, or first aid situations. This allows for modern and engaging public safety education.
Recruitment for volunteer fire departments
VR can serve as a tool for initial recruitment training. Potential recruits, including younger people, can take part in simulations that introduce them to the reality of being a firefighter.
Cost-effective fire safety training
Realistic fire simulations reduce the need for costly real-world fire drills, so training can take place anytime, anywhere, without the usual logistics and expenses.

How to organize it
VR lets people practice procedures hands-on, in a realistic but safe environment. Here is what you need to run it in your organization.
Easy setup
All you need is VR headsets and a subscription to our apps. Each package gives unlimited access to its training modules. The apps run on Meta Quest headsets; selected apps also run on Pico and HTC.
Hands-on learning
Employees train in realistic scenarios with their own hands, no controllers needed. The apps work offline, except SAMPLE AI, which needs an internet connection for its AI-driven conversation.
Indoors or outdoors
Each participant needs about 2 × 2 m of free space. Several trainees can share one headset by taking turns, while the others follow the session on a shared screen.
How many headsets you need
We recommend one headset per 4–5 participants trained on the same day. If employees rotate over a longer period, 1–2 headsets are enough. Extra batteries and straps are available for longer sessions.
Trackable progress
Follow each employee’s results and progress, and see where people need more practice.
Customizable and cost-effective
VR reduces the need for external trainers, physical setups and complex logistics. Modules can be tailored to your industry and to specific safety and operational needs.
