INCIDENT COMMAND SIMULATOR
A safe & EFFECTIVE ENHANCEMENT TO PRACTICAL TRAINING
SPECIALIZED LAND, AVIATION AND MARITIME SIMULATION SYSTEMS

2. Real-life training is an excellent way to develop competences, but it is often time-consuming and
expensive. RescueSim is an incident management simulator that prepares safety and security professionals
for incidents by letting them train in a realistic virtual environment, without the dangers, costs and time
associated with traditional training.
RescueSim allows emergency crews to experience the incident as they would in real-life. They assess the
situation and determine the best response strategy, implement it and then observe the consequences of
their decisions.
With RescueSim, users can try different response strategies for each incident. Professional instructors can
easily build incident scenarios using the intuitive toolbox and have full control over events during the
exercise, changing the incidents on the spot.
For after-action debriefing, a full session recording including a detailed log of all actions is available which
allows evaluation and assessment after the exercise.
“Rescuesim allows Toledo Fire And Rescue
Department members to train in a safe and
controlled environment whenever and wherever
convenient.”

Deputy Chief Of The Toledo (USA) Fire & Rescue Dept.

4. RescueSim allows for multidepartmental training involving different emergency services all taking part in the incident.
It caters for full cooperation, communication and coordination training during any incident.
ONE-ON-ONE TRAINING
Train a specific role during an
incident. An individual trainee is
trained by the instructor. Due to the
direct communication and feedback
that the instructor provides, the
trainee is able to achieve predefined
learning goals.
For a trainee, this training method
is frequently experienced as an
in-depth approach to their day-
to-day activities. By involving
large-scale scenarios the trainee
will be prepared for the incidents
which cannot be trained in real-
life exercises. The smaller scale
scenarios are used to prepare the
trainee for evacuation, observation
and taking the appropriate first
steps.
CLASSROOM TRAINING
An instructor and multiple trainees
participate. One trainee is assigned
the leadership role and takes the
control during scenario. The other
participants assist and discuss which
decisions are to be taken.
This module focuses on the
interaction between the trainees.
During this training, each trainee
will have a different approach to an
incident.
By discussing and simulating these
various approaches, the group of
trainees will learn to determine the
best possible solution to a realistic
problem.
MULTI-USER TRAINING
This training method allows
multiple users to participate
in joint training exercises
simultaneously.
Multi-user exercises can be done
either with different roles within
a single agency or with multiple
agencies and departments.
Multi-user training allows full
coordination training between
different emergency services and
departments simultaneously and
enables training at operational,
tactical and strategic level.

The Environment Creation Module is a flexible
tool that can be integrated into the RescueSim
Systems.
This module allows instructors to replicate
incidents and build specific local situations in a
realistic and easy way.
Basic shapes can be used by instructors to replicate
any 3D environment in a simple and fast manner.
The incidents or local scenes can also be built using
archive images or by using pictures taken on site.
Image on the right shows some examples of
environments created within RescueSim based on
pictures taken on site.
