NON-PROFIT ASSOCIATION · TACTICAL VENTILATION

Understanding smoke, from the training room to the fireground.

Training, consultancy and digital tools for tactical ventilation, for every fire service.

01

Train, assess, support.

Firefighters who teach tactical ventilation come to your organisation, with or without our tools. Every engagement is built with you, around your doctrine and resources.

A

Training your crews

For : Firefighters, crew and watch commanders

Tactical ventilation training sessions, from awareness to hands-on scenarios, adapted to your doctrine and equipment. The SimFlow simulator shows the effect of every decision before moving to live training.

Discuss it
B

Training your instructors

For : Future and current ventilation instructors

A tactical ventilation instructor course: master the fundamentals, design exercises and lead sessions, including on the simulator with your own buildings.

Discuss it
C

Service-wide assessment

For : Senior management, training and operations departments

An assessment of tactical ventilation across your organisation: doctrine, equipment, training, incident debriefs. You leave with clear findings and prioritised improvement actions.

Discuss it
D

Supporting your ventilation project

For : Organisations introducing or developing tactical ventilation

From decision to roll-out: doctrine, equipment selection, training plan, implementation follow-up. We support you at every step, at your own pace.

02

A complete journey, from the classroom to the fireground.

Three tools that work together: train, apply on the fireground, coordinate on the tactical situation board.

  1. Train

    SimFlow

    Training simulator · Computer and interactive whiteboard

    Air and smoke computed in real time in real buildings. Trainees choose the exhaust opening, open the inlet, position the fans and see the result immediately. Guided missions, challenges, live classes with a simple code, and exercises created by instructors on their own buildings.

  2. Respond

    OpsFlow

    Incident commander support · Phone and tablet, works offline

    On the fireground, the right reflexes and the right settings at the right time, even without network coverage. Designed to be used with one hand, with gloves on, day or night.

    In preparation
  3. Coordinate

    SITAC VO

    Tactical situation board · Physical board with a QR code to OpsFlow

    Place the inlet, the exhaust and the ventilation resources on the tactical situation board. The board’s QR code opens OpsFlow directly.

    In preparation

Our commitments

Transparency

Calculations based on fluid mechanics, presented for what they are: indicative values for learning, with their limits.

By firefighters

Tools designed and reviewed by firefighters and tactical ventilation instructors.

Open to all fire services

Public fire and rescue services, military units, airport and industrial fire brigades, training centres: a shared library of reviewed, validated scenarios.

04
OUR APPROACH
“A training tool must say what it can do, and what it cannot.”

The simulator computes the flow of air and smoke in real time from the laws of fluid mechanics: fan pressure, thermal buoyancy, wind, smoke curtains.

It is a teaching tool: it shows mechanisms and good reflexes, with indicative values, not measurements. Our ongoing validation work compares our models with published scientific references.

FIRE SERVICES · MILITARY · AIRPORTS · INDUSTRY · TRAINING

For your organisation

  • One licence per organisation: public fire and rescue services, military fire units, airport and industrial fire brigades, training centres.
  • A lead instructor approves the accounts of their organisation and reviews proposed exercises.
  • A shared library: scenarios validated at national level are shared between organisations.
  • Live classes: the instructor displays a code, trainees join with no account and no installation.

THE ASSOCIATION

By firefighters, for firefighters

SimTech-VO brings together firefighters and tactical ventilation instructors. The association trains crews and instructors, supports organisations in their tactical ventilation projects, and designs teaching and operational tools for every fire service.
