FireSim™ Series 8 First Responder Simulator

Fire Truck & Ambulance Driver Simulator for Emergency Services

The FireSim™ Series 8 by Acron Aviation is a high-performance simulator built specifically to meet the demanding needs of today’s fire and emergency medical service (EMS) departments. This advanced simulation platform provides realistic, scenario-based training in a safe and controlled environment, allowing drivers to hone critical response skills under pressure. FireSim™ combines accurate vehicle physics, immersive visuals, and customizable scenarios to create a powerful tool for developing confident, capable first responders.

Designed to replicate the dynamics and challenges of operating fire trucks, ambulances, and other emergency response vehicles, FireSim™ enables trainees to experience diverse driving conditions, from narrow urban streets and intersections to weather-related hazards and multi-vehicle response coordination. Drivers can safely practice high-speed navigation, hazard anticipation, collision avoidance, and arrival staging—all without taking fleet vehicles out of service or putting personnel or civilians at risk.

Critical Decision-Making: Practice emergency response driving under pressure
Realistic Scenarios: Conduct refresher, cadet, and advanced response training across various road and weather conditions
Accident Reduction: Decrease both frequency and severity of preventable crashes
Equipment Protection: Free up emergency vehicles for service, reducing wear and maintenance costs
After-Action Reviews: Reinforce proper techniques and decision-making with full session replays
Driver Confidence: Performance tracking tools provide consistent, objective feedback
Flexible Setup: Available for fixed-site or mobile trailer-based installation with classroom integration

Touchscreen interface for intuitive control of simulation settings
Instructor Operator Station (IOS) for managing scenarios, assessments, and system functions
Glass Console for rapid control of weather, lighting, terrain, and vehicle type
Glass Dash for synthetic gauge replication across multiple fire and EMS vehicles
Scenario Builder Tool for customized training exercises
Vehicle, traffic, and environmental libraries for highly realistic training environments
High-resolution 4K-ready LED LCD display system with 180° immersive field of view
Optional over-the-shoulder displays to support advanced maneuvers

Choose from multiple predefined emergency vehicle configurations: fire trucks, ambulances, battalion chief trucks, etc.
Realistic 21 DOF vehicle dynamics validated against OEM specs
Force-loaded steering simulates tire blowouts, curb strikes, and liquid load effects
Authentic emergency cab setup with pedals, steering wheel, and transmission controls
5.1 channel surround sound replicates engine, siren, and road noise
Train for rural, suburban, urban, mountain, desert, and motorway driving—day or night, rain or snow

Replay Studio™ gives instructors the ability to fully review, assess, and debrief training sessions with synchronized video, simulator playback, and vehicle telemetry. Improve retention and response effectiveness by visualizing both physical and cognitive reactions during critical moments.
