VR by PSI provides expert-led virtual reality for fire services. Academies and departments use our platform to deliver measurable, high-fidelity training in firefighting, hazardous materials, and incident command.
Our system is designed by national curriculum and fire training experts alongside experienced learning engineers and scientists. Every scenario is built around measurable learning outcomes and mapped to industry competency standards, so instructors can document skill development and departments can demonstrate training compliance.
01. Instructor-Lead
Puts fire training officers in the lead, guiding every scenario and decision.
02. Builds Operational Readiness
Designed with digital skills and real lesson plans in mind, so every session is clear, simple, and effective.
03. Mastery through unlimited practice
Research shows improved retention, reduced errors, and faster learning when trainees can practice repeatedly in controlled, realistic environments.
04. Environment for Decision-Making, Tactics, and Commands
Firefighters can test strategies, learn from failure, and build judgment in a no‑consequence environment.

What VR by PSI delivers:
-
Fire Rescue VR™ — Structural firefighting, fire attack, search and rescue, fire and smoke behavior, tactical decision-making, and recruitment scenarios.
-
Fire Hazmat VR™ — Hazardous materials response, gas metering and air monitoring, hazard assessment, and hazmat incident command.
-
Incident Command VR™ — Command-level decision-making at complex fireground and multi-agency incidents.
-
Mass Casualty VR™ — Currently in development, this delivers authentic MCI complexity—victim diversity, dynamic deterioration, and real‑time triage pressure—inside a safe, repeatable VR experience.
-
Custom scenario development — Replicate specific buildings in your response district or build scenarios around hazards unique to your jurisdiction

VR by PSI delivers more than hardware and software
You’re not just getting a platform — you’re gaining a team that understands how firefighters learn.
Why fire departments choose VR by PSI
Fire service training has always faced the same constraints: live burns are expensive and environmentally costly, travel to training facilities consumes duty hours, and rare but critical scenarios cannot be safely rehearsed.
VR by PSI addresses each of these constraints directly. Recruits and experienced firefighters can repeat a scenario as many times as needed to build competency.
Training can be delivered at the firehouse instead of requiring travel. And every action a trainee takes is tracked, giving instructors data they never had access to with traditional methods.
FIRE SERVICE VR SUITE
A fully integrated virtual training system that brings structural firefighting, hazmat response, and incident command into one authentic, metacognition‑driven environment.
Fire Rescue VR
Delivers an authentic, instructor‑led, decision‑focused training environment that mirrors real fireground complexity and builds true operational judgment.
Fire Hazmat VR
Immerses crews in a dynamic, sensor‑driven leak scenario where rapid identification, atmospheric monitoring, and decisive isolation actions determine whether the incident stabilizes or escalates.
Incident Command VR
immerses officers in realistic, high‑pressure fireground scenarios where they practice size‑up, resource coordination, and strategic decision‑making in a safe, repeatable environment
Mass Casualty VR
(In development)
Mass Casualty VR immerses responders in a chaotic, multi-victim scene where initial triage drives every size-up, resource decision, and tactical priority. Authentic MCI complexity—victim diversity, dynamic deterioration, real-time triage pressure—inside a safe, repeatable VR experience.

Science in Mind
Dr. Trudy Mandeville
Learning Scientist, Engineer, and Technologist
“I'm supporting the Fire Services VR Suite team because the platform and approach are grounded in important learning science — the process of seeing your decisions, reflecting on them, and refining your judgment in real time — and it does this inside an authentic, lived‑in environment rather than a sterilized simulation.”
Get Started
If you are a fire chief, training officer, or academy director evaluating VR training for your department, we would like to show you the system.
A demo typically takes 45 to 60 minutes and includes time in the headset, a walkthrough of the instructor dashboard, and a discussion of how
VR by PSI could fit into your existing training program. There is no cost and no obligation.
