Training

In the past sandtable exercises were difficult.

Now training is easy, interactive, and relevant.

Sandtable training is the mainstay for wildland fire training, however, it has significant drawbacks...

The Simtable is a 3D interactive fire simulator, bringing sandtable exercises to life in your own high risk areas.

Fire progressions are rough approximations with manual movement.

Fire is an advanced computer simulation utilizing actual terrain, wind speed/direction, slope, fuels, and more.

Long setup time with crude representations of geography.

Instant change to real time maps and topography.

Large personnel requirements, scheduling difficulties, and sporadic occurrences.

Individuals and small groups train on and learn about fires and techniques by running simulations of local neighborhood fires.
