Built for the week you assess three or four candidates a day
Fire Scene is built from interviews with a training-development team that assesses incident commanders for promotion and revalidation. It does the slow and repetitive parts of the week (building scenarios, briefing, recording) and leaves the judgement where it belongs.
- Who runs it
- Scenario creators, IC assessors, high-rise specialists, Watch Managers leading station training
- Every exercise is
- An initial assessment for promotion, or a revalidation
- A busy week
- 3–4 candidates a day, at least one week a month
- A failed exercise costs
- Candidate and assessor time, a re-sit, and everyone's wages
| Stage | Today | With Fire Scene |
|---|---|---|
| Before the week | Scenario creation is the slow part. Someone builds it in the incumbent tool, and the lead time is high. | Build a scenario once on photographs of a local premises (take the time to make it realistic) and keep it in the service library for every candidate after. |
| The brief | The candidate needs the turn-out sheet, what is visible on arrival and anything an MDT would give en route. | The briefing pack is exported as a PDF before the first order, so the commander starts with what control would have given them. |
| The exercise | One instructor voices several roles at once, which confuses the candidate. Glitches and comms to control cost minutes to hours. | Information is revealed on command (the 360, the internal recce, the caller's update) with no role-play needed. If a shout comes in, pause and resume where you were. |
| The judgement | The assessor's call, on what the candidate ordered given what they knew. | Unchanged. Fire Scene records the orders against the clock and stages the information; it does not score the candidate. |
| The record | Scenario, orders, debrief and the assessor's judgement should all be kept and reviewable. | Saved under the candidate's name, searchable by candidate and by property, visible to the training manager and the candidate. |
What your service keeps, and who can see it
The questions a head of department asks before signing.
Segregated by service
Everything a service uploads (photographs of real premises, candidate results) is private to that service. No other service can see it.
Kept and searchable
Exercise records are kept and searchable by candidate and by property, for the training manager to review and the candidate to look back on.
Labelled, always
Every generated image carries a visible label: AI-generated training material, not a real incident.
A record of the exercise, not the verdict
Fire Scene keeps the scenario, the orders and the debrief. The assessor's judgement is theirs and is recorded in your service's own system; Fire Scene does not score, and is not an assessment record of who passed.
There are no logos to show you
Fire Scene is new and we are being upfront about it. We are inviting a small number of services to run it on their own premises during an assessment week, free, in return for honest feedback from real use and a reference if it earns one. The decision usually sits with the team manager or head of department; we will bring whatever the senior leadership team needs to see.
Start with one premises your assessors know
We will build the first scenario with your team and run it on your next assessment day.
