FLAIM Extinguisher Updates

New Workplace Fire Warden Scenario

The highlight of this release is our new Workplace Fire Warden scenario, which puts trainees in the shoes of a fire warden and tests their response to a fire emergency. The scenario follows the regulations of fire warden procedures. It requires the trainees to follow a range of steps, such as activating the alarm, contacting the fire services, searching the entire floor, evacuating colleagues, and determining whether to fight the fire or evacuate. This is our first scenario to feature an evacuation zone, which, along with fire warden procedures, will form the cornerstone of future business and professional scenarios.

New Air Ambulance Scenarios

We have expanded our suite of air ambulance environments and now offer two inflight medical bay scenarios: a medical equipment fire and a medical bag fire.

Both these incidents can be extremely challenging for flight crews to manage due to the various complexities involved. The medical bag fire, in particular, requires the use of a precise extinguisher technique to ensure that the patient is not exposed to any harmful halon suppressant.

New Corrections Facility Scenarios

This update also introduces our two Corrections Facility scenarios that require precise and detailed procedures to evacuate inmates and fight fires in prisons safely. The first incident features a low-security cottage scenario involving an unattended frying pan on a gas burner. The trainee needs to evacuate the inmates in the cottage and correctly fight the fat fire.

The second incident features a deliberately lit mattress in a high-security management cell. In this situation, trainees need to deal with a volatile compartment fire while at the same time handling a potentially dangerous inmate.

New Army Bulk Fuel Tanker Fire

In our newest Army Bulk Fuel Tanker Fire training environment at a remote fuel depot, trainees must isolate the fuel delivery manifold on an army truck before proceeding to extinguish the fire.  To make matters more complex, the trainees must also combat the wind, which can make the line of approach to the fire difficult. How trainees decide to attack the fire is vital to their success.

 

New FLAIM Launcher

The new FLAIM Launcher interface and setup make installing, managing, and updating FLAIM Workplace Safety apps easier than ever. It also allows for greater control and customisation of settings and localisation and updates are now much smoother and faster.

Finally, this release features many under-the-bonnet improvements to performance and quality of life, including the ability to toggle the auto-selection pointer, making it easier to navigate the software. Additionally, our FLAIM Capture system has been further enhanced and now provides clients with better data insights into how their trainees are progressing.
