The problem
Sound familiar?
Training officers keep telling us the same five things.
“The VR we tried didn't match our trucks.”
Veterans dismiss training that doesn't match real apparatus, buildings, and SOPs. Worse — it teaches wrong habits, and in this job that's dangerous.
“Per-user pricing punishes us for training more people.”
A municipal budget line needs a fixed cost. Pricing that grows with every firefighter you train is backwards.
“When our SOPs changed, the vendor held our content hostage.”
Custom studios own your training. New apparatus, new station, new procedure — and your content goes stale within a year.
“Our building models can't sit on someone's cloud.”
Pre-plans of schools, airports, and infrastructure are sensitive. On-premises deployment is often a hard procurement requirement.
“Live burns can't cover the scenarios that kill people.”
Flashover, hazmat, collapse — too dangerous to run live, too deadly to leave unpracticed. Slide decks don't count as practice.
The solution
Build it in-house. Own it forever.
With SimLab Composer, your instructors create VR training from your department's own assets — no 3D artists, no programmers, no vendor in the loop.
Built from your assets
Import your apparatus and building models — SolidWorks, Inventor, CATIA and other 3D formats convert directly to VR. No coding. Veterans take it seriously because it's literally your equipment. No 3D models yet? Send us photos, drawings or pre-plans — the SimLab team will build them for you.
Updated by your instructors
SOPs change? New engine? Edit the training yourself in SimLab Composer, the same day. No vendor, no change fees, no waiting. You own every file.
On your infrastructure
The Full package deploys on-premises. Sensitive building pre-plans never leave your control — a requirement your procurement office will recognize.
Create once, run everywhere
One build runs on Quest, Pico, PC VR, desktop, and mobile — the free SimLab VR Viewer. A few headsets, training-room PCs, tablets: all covered.
Ready to customize
Start from four ready fire experiences — not a blank canvas
The Full package includes these four fire training experiences. Customize them with your own models and procedures in SimLab Composer. This is real output — what your department's training will look like.
VR Collaboration — Fire Fight Training
Crews train together in the same virtual fireground, coordinating like they would on scene.
Fire Extinguisher VR Training
Hands-on extinguisher selection and use — repeatable practice without discharging real units.
Fire Scene Inspection
Walk a fire scene and identify hazards, causes, and evidence — as many passes as it takes.
Emergency Fire Drill
Run full evacuation and emergency-response drills without shutting a building down.

Compare either number to what a single live burn training day costs your department — instructors, fuel, props, backfill overtime, apparatus out of service. VR doesn't replace live training. It covers what live training can't, at a fraction of the cost, as many times as your crews need.

FAQ
The questions training officers actually ask
You don't need them. Instructors build with the no-code editor in SimLab Composer, and CAD models convert to VR directly.
Most departments don't — it's not a blocker. If you have CAD or 3D files, they import directly. If you don't, send us photos, drawings or pre-plans and the SimLab team will build the models of your apparatus and buildings for you. You own the files, and your instructors take it from there.
The Full package of SimLab Composer deploys on your own infrastructure. Your models never leave your control.
You edit the training yourself in SimLab Composer, the same day. No vendor, no change fees, no waiting.
Fixed annual price for creator seats. Trainees are unlimited — the SimLab VR Viewer is free. Train ten firefighters or a thousand at the same cost.
Create once, run anywhere — Quest, Pico, PC VR, desktop, and mobile. Headsets are optional to start.
Because it wasn't built from your assets and procedures. With SimLab Composer it is — that's the whole point.
The New York Fire Department (FDNY) evaluated it and called it the best solution for creating in-house fire fighting training.
Build VR training on your trucks, your buildings, your procedures — and own it forever.
What it takes to start: one or two instructors, a few hours in week one, and models of your apparatus or buildings when you're ready. A headset is optional — a PC is enough.
