VIC Premier
A state-of-the-art virtual reality training program that simulates dangerous fire scenarios such as house fires, grassfires and plane fires, while teaching real life firefighting skills, is set to be rolled out across the state.
Similar to flight-simulator technology but designed specifically for firefighters, the Virtual Firefighter training program will enhance firefighting skills in a low-risk environment and without the logistics and cost of burning physical assets.
Visiting a demonstration of the program at Portarlington today, Minister for Police and Emergency Services
Lisa Neville was joined by CFA Chief Officer Jason Heffernen and FLAIM Systems Chief Executive Officer
James Mullins in officially launching the state-wide program, funded by the Andrews Labor Government.
