FIRE SCENE
UK Fire & Rescue · incident-command scenarios

The building your crews already know. On fire.

Fire Scene builds incident-command exercises on photographs of the real premises on your patch, mapped room by room, with fire and smoke that develop as the candidate commands, and a debrief on record at the end.

The building map

A real premises, keyed like a survey sheet

Several photographs and a floorplan, linked by numbered keys into an interior and exterior walkthrough. The candidate sees what arrives on scene, and finds the rest by ordering it.

What a session leaves behind

A briefing to start, a debrief on record

Every exercise exports a briefing pack before the first order and a debrief report after the last: the candidate's orders and the timeline. Kept and searchable by candidate and by property.

01 · Before

Briefing pack

What the incident commander must have before the first order, the turn-out sheet as fire control would give it, exported as a PDF.

02 · During

Timeline and doctrine panel

Orders logged against the clock from first arrival. Sectors, cordons and tactical mode visible to the assessor as the exercise runs.

03 · After

Debrief report

A PDF for the training manager and the candidate. Saved under the candidate's name, searchable by candidate and by property.

The exercise

Information arrives the way an incident delivers it

The commander gets the turn-out sheet and what is visible from the road. A 360 finds the rear. A message from control changes the picture. The fire develops with each decision, instantly, so nobody waits on the tool.

  • RevealDetails on command: the 360, the internal recce, the caller's update.
  • PauseStop for a shout on a wholetime station and pick up where you left off.
  • JudgeThe assessor does. Fire Scene records the orders; it does not score the candidate.

Straight answers

Two things you are right to ask

You deal with real fire. The training team we interviewed does too. These are their questions.

Q1

Is the fire realistic enough for an IC?

Not yet in every case, and we will not pretend otherwise. So the builder is deliberately slow: you set the seat of fire, the stage, the smoke and the wind on your own photograph and take the time to get it right, then it goes in the library and is reused. Every render is labelled AI-generated.

Q2

Can it judge a candidate's orders?

No, and it does not try. The right decision depends on the information the commander had. Fire Scene stages the information and records the orders; the assessor judges them, as they do now.
