Fire Extinguisher & Fire Safety VR Training Simulator
Aligned to NFPA 10 / IS 2189

VR safety training with scored competency assessment and a dated digital certificate, deployable on standalone headsets across every site, in Hindi and English.

What does compliant fire extinguisher training have to cover?

Fire extinguisher training must teach workers to identify the fire class (A, B, C, D or K), select the correct extinguishing agent, and apply it using the PASS method, Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep, while maintaining a safe egress path. Under NFPA 10, employers must provide hands-on training on the type of extinguisher present when an employee is first assigned and at least annually thereafter. EDIIIE’s Fire Safety module trains all of this in VR: the trainee reads the fire, chooses from a rack of extinguishers, discharges on a live simulated fire that responds correctly to the wrong agent, and navigates an evacuation under smoke and alarm. Every attempt is scored against NFPA 10 and IS 2189 and issues a dated digital certificate. Because EDIIIE builds both the VR module and a physical extinguisher simulator, the same programme runs on a headset or on a real extinguisher with a simulated discharge.

What the module covers

Built to the standard, scored on the behaviour

This module is designed around NFPA 10 / IS 2189 and delivered as an immersive VR simulation with three progressive modes, Learn, Practice and Assessment, with progression gated on competency. Every trainee finishes with a scored result and a dated digital certificate recorded in the LMS.

Inside the module

What the trainee sees

Screens from the Fire Safety module. Every scenario is rebuilt from real plant conditions so the hazard, the equipment and the procedure match what the worker meets on shift.

VR fire extinguisher training vs. the burn-pan class

A traditional fire extinguisher class either uses a propane burn-pan, which is weather-dependent, produces emissions, and lets each trainee attempt one fire, or a slideshow, which teaches nothing about technique. VR removes both limits. A single instructor can run a rack of headsets in a training room, each trainee facing a different fire class on a fire that behaves physically: a Class B oil fire flares if hit with water, a Class C electrical fire is only safe once isolated. Trainees repeat until the technique is correct, and the system records exactly where they aimed and how long they took. For sites that want the tactile feel of a real extinguisher, EDIIIE’s physical fire extinguisher training simulator uses a real extinguisher body with a simulated discharge and the same scoring engine, one programme, two delivery formats, two buyers.

Fire safety as part of a wider emergency-response programme

Fire rarely occurs in isolation on an industrial site. EDIIIE’s Fire Safety module is built to link to the wider hazard set, hot-work permits connect to the Working at Height and Confined Space modules, evacuation ties to General Safety and site induction, and electrical fires connect directly to the Electrical Safety and Lockout/Tagout modules. Deployed together they form the emergency-response layer of a site safety induction, all sharing one LMS, one competency record and one audit trail. At SAIL Bhilai, fire response was one of the six modules delivered to more than 5,000 workers.

Compliance mapping

The standards this module maps to

Naming the standard is what separates a vendor page from a blog post, for a buyer and for an answer engine alike. Each element of the module is mapped to the requirement it satisfies.

StandardWhat it requires

How it is delivered

Learn, Practise, Prove

One module, three gated modes, the trainee cannot reach assessment until they have demonstrated the procedure in practice.

Learn

A guided walkthrough of the procedure and the standard behind it, at the trainee's own pace, with the hazard shown safely at full realism.

Practise

The trainee performs the procedure themselves in an interactive scenario, repeating until the sequence is correct. Wrong choices show their consequence safely.

Assess & Certify

A scored assessment against the standard. On a pass, the LMS issues a dated digital certificate and logs completion, competency score and error-per-step for audit.

Proof

Deployed on real industrial sites

Client deployment
5,000+ workers trained across 6 safety modules

At SAIL Bhilai, one of India’s largest integrated steel plants, EDIIIE deployed a six-module VR safety programme to more than 5,000 workers, covering blast furnace, coke oven, rolling mill, fire response, electrical lockout and PPE. The programme standardised safety induction across shifts and sites without taking a single worker into a live hazard area to train.

Rollout

Runs on standalone headsets, no PC, no lab

The same module ships to every site on a fleet of Meta Quest headsets with a charging station and a companion tablet for the instructor.

On-site fleet

Charge, hand out, train, in the induction room itself

A rack of headsets lives at the plant. Trainees pick one up, complete the module and hand it back; scores sync to the LMS when the headset reaches Wi-Fi. No dedicated PC per seat and no simulator room to build.

  • Standalone Meta Quest headsets, offline-capable
  • Instructor tablet mirrors the trainee's view live
  • Narration in Hindi, English and regional languages

Assessment

Every step scored, every error logged

Assessment mode records decision time, procedural errors and safety violations per step. The safety officer sees competency progression per trainee and per department, and the LMS issues a dated digital certificate on a pass.

  • Competency score, errors-per-step and time-on-task per trainee
  • Exports to your existing LMS via SCORM/xAPI or CSV

FAQ

Fire Safety training, common questions

Under NFPA 10, employers must train employees on the extinguishers available to them when first assigned to a job and at least annually thereafter. Many Indian sites additionally align to IS 2189 and the Factories Act 1948 and re-certify annually. EDIIIE’s module issues a dated digital certificate on each pass, so the annual cycle is tracked automatically in the LMS.
A physical fire extinguisher training simulator uses a real extinguisher body with a simulated (laser or water-mist) discharge aimed at a screen or prop fire, it trains the physical motion. VR fire training puts the trainee inside a photorealistic hazard scene where they must also read the fire class, choose the right agent and evacuate. EDIIIE builds both and runs them on the same scoring engine, so a site can standardise assessment across whichever format it deploys.
Either. The physical simulator suits a permanent site training room, and a mobile set-up suits a fire-safety campaign across several units; the VR module runs on standalone headsets anywhere. Tell us your worker headcount and the sites involved and we will scope the right format.
All standard classes: Class A (solids), Class B (flammable liquids), Class C (electrical, per the US system / gases per some standards), Class D (combustible metals, relevant to steel and aluminium sites) and Class K (cooking oils). The module can be weighted toward the fire types your facility actually carries.
PASS, Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, Sweep side to side, is the core technique every extinguisher course teaches. The simulator scores each of the four actions separately, so a trainee who aims at the flames instead of the base, or stands too close, sees exactly which step failed.
Employers must provide fire safety information and, where employees are expected to use extinguishers, hands-on training under NFPA 10 and equivalent Indian requirements under IS 2189 and state Factories Rules. Evacuation drills are expected for all staff; extinguisher operation is required for anyone designated to fight an incipient fire.
