Firefighter training academies, fire and rescue services, oil & gas companies, and businesses working in high-risk environments that deliver training to their own staff, on a commercial basis currently have access to conventional tools. These include options such as tabletop exercises where members meet in an informal classroom setting to discuss roles and responsibilities during an emergency and form responses to a particular situation using basic and limited resources, or computer-based training aids such as PowerPoint presentations with images and videos.

At the other end of the spectrum, exercise drills can be conducted using expensive command and control software which costs tens and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars.

STRX lies in the middle between these two options as an affordable alternative; it is a modular cost-effective solution to build interactive firefighter training sessions. Based on a yearly subscription model, users access a huge number of props, fire training scenarios, and environments in which they walkthrough and interact with the surroundings creating an immersive experience for instructors and trainees.

What’s more, we have even included aircraft recovery incident scenarios to give ARFF (aircraft rescue and firefighting) clients additional training versatility. Subscribers are also able to change weather effects, use different points of view, and admin/user screens for multiple role-playing. Content is collaborative across users and different users can login into the same training session from remote locations.

With STRX, creating interactive fire training environments is simple.
