FireSim™ Series 8 First Responder Simulator

Fire Truck & Ambulance Driver Simulator for Emergency Services
Acron Aviation FireSim™ Series 8 First Responder Simulator

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.

Replay Studio™ Capabilities

  • Simultaneously replay driver video and simulator scenario
  • Change 3D camera angles during playback for enhanced visibility
  • SimTile panel displays real-time data like steering, speed, brake force, and RPM
