VR for volunteer fire departments
Use virtual reality (VR) in your volunteer fire department’s training and community events. Inspire future recruits, make safety training more practical and engage your local community.
VR provides safe, realistic and interactive training that inspires younger people to get involved, with hands-on practice in dangerous emergency scenarios without the risks.
Recruiting and training new members is hard
Without VR
- Traditional recruitment does not reach tech-savvy young people.
- Physical training limits how many people can practice hands-on.
- Real firefighting scenarios are hard to recreate safely.
- The result: missed training opportunities or a risk of injury.
With EHS VR
- Children and teenagers step into a firefighter’s shoes and see why the job matters.
- Recruits practice firefighting tactics and evacuation without physical danger.
- At Firefighters’ Day, people of all ages try firefighting simulations.
- The modern side of firefighting helps you recruit young people.

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.
